Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone

You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?

Android streaming boxes are the most flexible. Replace the stock launcher with projectivy once set up.
Inexpensive: Onn
Best: Nvidia Shield Pro

GrayJay seems to work for that.

Same but I don’t use YouTube I tend to use it for TV. Cast and forget cable TV for free.
I hate edge but edge also let’s you stream from your PC to TV with no ads.

PiHole can mostly block ads on propetiary software

Not YouTube because the ads come from the same “source”, so blocking that DNS would mean blocking the actual video, too. That’s my week understanding of it, at least.
