Ad-Free YouTube? -- Yes.
1) Vivaldi Browser
Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Source > Check all the boxes.
2) Install Privacy Badger (add-on)
3) Install uBlock Origin -- Vivaldi still works with it.
4) Go into uBlock settings, and enable all sources.
5) In uBlock to "My Filters" and add this:
www.youtube.com##tp-yt-paper-dialog.ytd-popup-container.style-scope
www.youtube.com##.opened
You will have an ad-free experience.
However, you will not, however, be able to scroll down and read the comments. Personally, I don't care about the comments, and only watch videos. You may also sometimes start a video, and it may pause, but only once. I find that feature a net positive since it means automatic plays, which I never want, don't get that far.
Bonus = I also recommend you block ads on the DNS level, for example, use AdGaurd DNS.
