I don’t think so, since YouTube runs their ads from the same servers as the videos. You need to use an alternate front end that doesn’t serve ads to begin with. One thing I used to do too was run a VPN on my router in Japan, so I would get Japanese ads instead. There were way fewer ads, I would have no idea what they were advertising, and the few ads I would get were way more entertaining.
Is there a way to block youtube ads on the tv? I have an android tv and using the youtube app is painfull… :-(
pi-hole may be what you’re gunning for.
That’s via DNS, right? If so i don’t think it will work, i’m using https://nextdns.io/ with lots of block lists and it doesn’t work.
Depends on your implementation. It does need some tweaking and using the logs to add more crap to the block list.

You need firefox with ublock.
