        Ad free YouTube on RokuOS? TIZEN?

        Ad free YouTube on iOS?

        Sadly, Firefox + ublock is becoming unreliable. I routinely can’t play YouTube videos on my desktop computer with that setup (+ a vpn) because google just won’t serve them. I just get perpetual loading screens.

    You can’t defend against ads with pihole, if the ads server has the same address as content server

      This is true. Hence the piracy. Only way to go ad free.

        But with the risk of malware infection, unfortunately.

        When something is free, you’re the product.
