It only works in Safari and much of the Youtube watching is likely in the Youtube app.

I personally use https://www.ghostery.com/en/ on all our computers. When you install the plugin and got to a site like TMZ or The Verge it is astonishing how much shit is loaded. Beacon after beacon, ad after ad, tracker after tracker. I had over 50 pieces of crap load from each of those sites and hamper my user experience, now everything loads quickly after blocking. Much like adult, these media companies have to beat the shit out of something and ride it until the wheels fall off at the expense of a positive end-user experience.
