Some of these rules are written only for their apps and work properly only in the standalone app, not browser extension or third-party adblocker engine. If you try to report this to Adguard, they'll just ignore or sabotage your request; there are already hundreds of reports about missed YouTube ads and anti-adblock pop-ups:
AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#170786
AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#170016

In the meantime you can:
— find out yourself which ad is being loaded and try to create your own rule;
— use the Adguard app;
— use a third-party frontend for YouTube

  1. become this crazy monstrosity, bring doom to earth, poop everywhere.

They're already doing that at Google HQ.

@bar82max perhaps it is a failure of communication, probably the wording 'AdBlock' does not convey the real intention of that feature in cromite.
Perhaps 'content filtering' is more correct.

Let me explain myself.

The objective of this browser is not to eliminate advertising as such, but rather to block scripts that exploit the inherent possibilities that the software grants to recognise users between sessions, and often ads = fingerprint because it is the, let's say, easiest way to get that information when persistent storage is not usable.

So, as far as youtube is concerned, the failure to block ads is precisely the negation of what is the goal of an adblock, but I don't see it that way in cromite, because the failure for me is when I allow one session to be linked to another of the same user.

Now back to your report.
content filtering in cromite provides the possibility of using special rules that could allow the blocking you are talking about, but it is deactivated by default because it must be a user choice. this setting is "Enable anti-circumvention and snippets".
if that doesn't work, then my advice is to take advantage of the user scripts, looking for something that is specific to the solution of the problem you detect.
