  and only a minor inconvience as youtube delays the video for adblockers, of course they will try to make that permanent somehow.

  I just purchased a new travel router that will have options for ad blocking built in. Would that block ads on any device sharing that connexion? TV, phone, PC, smart fridge,…?

    Those will not block YT ads.

    They’ll block ads at a DNS level, but YouTube ads are delivered in video stream.

    Depends on how they’re served but mostly, yes

      But, topically, will not block YouTube ads

    Honestly, it varies. Businesses are starting to get wise to DNS adblockers, and are serving more ads from their primary domain (this is part of why you can’t block YouTube ads with a DNS blocker anymore - you can’t block them at the DNS level without blocking all of YouTube).

    You’ll see a noticeable downtick in phone ads from web browsing and ad-sponsored games, but something like a TV or fridge will probably be unaffected because the ads will be served directly from the same host as the content. You’ll see fewer ads but far from zero.

    Also why are you connecting your smart fridge to a travel router? Do you travel with a smart fridge?

      No XD i was just wondering what kind of ads it could block. It will be my dedicated VR router when not in my main setup and i’m wonder what else i could do with it.

    Not youtube ads, sadly, if they are blocking based on domain names. For YouTube, you can use pipepipe, which do block ads as far as I have seen.

    I’m just imagining how spammy it would be to see this reply on every comment that has more than 69 upvotes.

    Yup. At one point that number was 69 in order to get to where it is now. Good job.
