Have some browser extension play the video in the background with ads and notify me once it’s done. In the meantime show some message like “bringing out the trash”. Can do better things with my time than watching ads Or something to that effect… 🤷
I’ll develop my own browser before using an ad-infested internet. Luckily I don’t have to do that, because there are alternatives and also because it would be a damn time consuming project to put it mildly 😅

It’s hard to give tips without knowing your situation better, but here are a few general ones that probably already set you apart from the vast majority of other small companies:
Keep your stuff updated, especially when there are security fixes available
don’t take convenience shortcuts that compromise on security (e.g. relying on “security through obscurity”)
block incoming traffic by default (you only need some people from your country to access the network? Maybe even block ip ranges from the other side of the world)
log access to your network and also analyse the logs often (probably with the help of some software)
I’m just some Software Engineer with a few years of experience, not some security expert though😅

Mostly the same. I tried ChatGPT a few times to get it to generate some code, but mostly it produced code that didn’t even compile and when I asked it to fix it, it created code that didn’t compile in a different way. I enjoy writing code on my own a lot more than having to review some pre-generated code.
Though I use it as a glorified Google sometimes and that is not even so bad.
My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through? I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(
So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...
Revanced isn’t in an app store (at least not a legit version), you have to build it yourself. Otherwise it would probably end like Vanced. Take care of scam websites, this is the real one: revanced.app
