I'm not sure about the specifics on how uBlacklist works but these[0] uBlock origin filters seem to be very basic and invariant to small changes. Google could certainly could make them harder to remove but given that they don't put up much of a fuss (to my knowledge) for their normal ads (YouTube not included), I don't see why this would be otherwise. Fair enough about a custom search engine though, I misinterpreted your comment. [0]: https://github.com/stroobants-dev/ublock-origin-shitty-copie...
In Ask HN: Let's build an HN uBlacklist to improve our Google search results?
This was discussed around a month ago, leading me to this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29546433#29549855 and the consequent uBlock Origin list that is what I'm using as the so far better solution for this problem: https://github.com/stroobants-dev/ublock-origin-shitty-copie... but it will need curation and updates over time, which I'm not sure the author is willing or has the time to do.
