Speaking of, does anyone know how best to block YouTube ads on my Sony TV? It uses Android and I have the YT app on it.

Install SmartTube and use that instead of the official YouTube app.

It's even better than the real YouTube app because, unlike that, it's native.

Ah yes! Thank you. Will try this today

Pihole maybe. Even though I have heard its not as reliable lately

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't block YouTube ads with PiHole generally because the ads come from legitimate Google domains so you can't block them easily

I see. That is why I said maybe as I was not sure.
