DNS Adblocking although you’ll need special rules for your tv (each vendor varies) and it has limitations. The ad networks have known about dns Adblocking as long as it’s existed so they circumvent it. On a pc with something like ublock (especially the old manifest 3 version) you can also stop scripts used to get around this but obviously on tv that’s not an option (plus it doesn’t always work, cat and mouse game)
I’d really like the ad industry to burn and everyone who works in it to go to jail

Use an old laptop or minipc with an air remote, that’s what I do and it’s way better than any of the tv box alternatives. I’ve got an easy to control cursor, media buttons, and there’s a full keyboard on the back of the remote. No more messing with stupid on screen keyboards. Would never go back to regular ‘SmartTV’ apps or features.
