  on YouTube (on my TV, still need to get a piHole up and running

  Unfortunately that won’t help. The Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos, so a DNS based blocker is inherently powerless.

    FWIW, Linux + FireFox + Ublock still blocks 100% of YouTube ads for me.

      Can confirm, Firefox with uBlock works. The OS doesn’t seem to matter. I use that combination on Linux (Fedora 43), Windows (10), macOS (15) and Android (16), no ads anywhere.

  Just stop using the TV like that. Hook up a small Linux computer via hdmi and use that instead.

    I have an older MacBook with standard hdmi, but there are some creators I really like on YouTube and we have an ancient Roku stick that still works. The remote is convenient and I usually go pee during the ads.

        Yeah but the decent thing is that they show you how long before you can skip. So you know how long you have.
