How do I stop "Ads by Google" from running when I watch a video?

"Ads by Google" keep popping up when I watch a video. It blocks part of the video. How can I prevent this? I do not use Google.

Good evening!

Google Ads is used by plenty of services, and in the case of YouTube, is in fact owned by Google. Usually there is an 'x' somewhere that will make it disappear, and I think there are some good add-ons that you can use to block those ads if they are bothersome to you.
