Nope. :( I have a Pi-Hole, but it blocks based on domain name, and YouTube serves the ads from the same domain name as the actual videos. So you can’t block one without blocking the other
Computers and mobile devices are nice for watching ad-free, but I prefer watching on the TV with a remote. So I’ve just been paying $15/mo or whatever for YouTube Premium. Sucks, but at least some of that money goes to the creators and I get to watch ad-free from the couch
Ahh, that sucks dude. I think the only thing that might be able to replace a Roku box would be a small NUC or android box with Kodi installed, since I think there’s an ad-blocker addon for the Kodi youtube app called SponserBlock that I’ve read works fairly well. Might be something to look into.
Yeah I have an Nvidia Shield with YouTube set up inside Kodi. The functionality kinda fell off for a few years and that’s when I switched to more Roku. Not sure if I wasn’t using the right addons or if changes in the YouTube api was limiting it.
Hey! I saw this thread about getting around youtube’s new crack down on adblockers, and one of the ones mentioned is for TV use called smart tube, thought I’d mention it in case you find it helpful. ^^
EDIT: Someone in the comments of that thread mentioned Playlet, which is an invidious frontend for Roku.

I I’ll look into SponsorBlock, thanks!
