I hate ads so much that I typically would start a video on YouTube with my phone/PC muted and then put the phone face down or turn off the monitor for ten seconds before going back to the video and rewinding to the start.
People have been conditioned into viewing ads as a normal every day part of life. It's actually kind of scary, since it's basically mind games to convince people to hand their money over.
You can spoof it as Chrome because it's a bias towards other browsers that aren't chrome, regardless of whatever bullshit statements they put out to avoid getting sued or otherwise in trouble.
