Not really, sadly. google is going at this whole their-internet-ads-everywhere by several routes. Neither DNS blockers like AdGuard or google MV3 compliant browser (google chromium & firefox and soft forks) extensions, google web extensions, will work because they can't block first party hosted ads. Things that are a part of the site itself. Embedded into it. google is also pushing their Shadow/DOM (and nested module/import functions) "standard" which will turn all sites into a single packet. One in which you can't modify individual elements, because the whole of the thing is the element.
Since smartphones are google android or walled garden & closed source apple, there's really no workaround on them. I don't use a smartphone personally. On Desktop you can use Pale Moon or Basilisk browser though. They use the superior UXP addons, evolved from XUL.
If the ads are first-party, I assume Google is financially and morally liable for any harms caused by the advertisements they serve. If they're not running third-party code, I will treat the ads as an annoyance instead of a threat, at least on their own platforms.
The people behind the ad block apps have probably already got a workaround provided
Because there's extremely low numbers of competent, technical know how staff still at YouTube and Google...
