Ublock Lite still works on Chrome. There are no custom filters and it doesn't block a lot of annoyances (like "Sign In With [brand]"), but it gets the job done for most people.
But honestly if you want have the most reliable adblocking experience, then Firefox w/Ublock Origin is still your best bet (also YouTube ReVanced for mobile and SmartTube/SmartTubeNext for TVs).
