No browser, likely app based (hence the TV)
You could theoretically run a PiHole, but I don’t believe that works too well on YouTube anymore. Especially considering the tight integration Google utilizes for their ad services with their non-paid services.

Google TV can run the vastly superior Smarttube app, no ads, double the framerate, much better experience.

I think Google just sent out a memo to all apps pulling the YouTube API to start showing ads or they’d pull their tokens.
