It is a well-known thing that browser adblockers often fail to play nicely with YouTube these days. However, even if you paid for Premium Lite, Google says it will soon push even more ads.
You can mix TIDAL and piracy; I use tidal-dl quite a lot. The problem with streaming services is that they can close shop in five minutes, and all of “your” music won’t be yours anymore.
What I didn’t like about Tidal was their weird format being advertised as lossless when it wasn’t. It didn’t really sound all that great.
There was an application called requiem (if I remember correctly) that could rip music from older Windows XP versions of iTunes; it was only available over Tor quite some time ago. I’m not sure what people would use these days (maybe just a [modified] DAC?).

TIDAL HiFi is FLAC as far as I know.
I had to look it up, what I was thinking of was MQA. Looks like they discontinued it last year though.
