YouTube Channel Whitelist - Firefox Add-on
"YouTube Channel Whitelist" is a Firefox add-on that revolutionizes the way you manage ads on YouTube. Used in conjunction with uBlock Origin, it provides you the flexibility to whitelist your favorite YouTube channels, thereby exempting them from ad-blocking. Furthermore, it lets you block or mute specific advertisers, giving you optimum control over what you see. Its most exciting feature, however, is its ability to effectively force skip ads that are normally 'unskippable'. Efficiently manage ad content with YouTube Channel Whitelist.

The addon itself is great, but unfortunately it causes ublock Origin to be detected by youtube as of the time I am writing this review, so I cannot use it at the moment.
