use ublock origin, so far it’s been pretty much problem free.
Outside of this, use something like yt-dlp to run your own jellyfin instance or something.
Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.
- Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
- YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…
Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.
I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?
I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

You would have to block the video itself to get rid of them

Pihole will not work because it works on the DNS queries. With server side injection it’s gonna be tougher to block ads, but I’m sure we’ll find a way

If ads are injected server-side like the article is taking about, your downloads in Newpipe and Kodi are going to still have the ads in them.
