ublock origin, brave with aggressive adblocking and adguard for desktop with some kind of adblocking DNS

Will all of this finally get rid of the ads on the YouTube app on my TV?

If you have Android tv, you can use smarttube instead of the official one.

I do not. It's an LG with WebOS.

never use the youtube app, for stuff like that on your smart TV, you need something like iVPN on your router with the "restrictive" setting on the anti-tracker and then you need "adguard home" connected to your home wifi too. it's a device you have to buy that has adguard in it, not sure how it works.

Too much work, in all honesty. Also our Internet service provider also provides the router and I'm not sure about replacing it. We have a bulk deal with the whole building.

I'll just keep muting the ads and look away while I do the countdown in my head lol. It's very seldom that I watch YouTube on my TV anyway. 😌
