ublock origin, brave with aggressive adblocking and adguard for desktop with some kind of adblocking DNS
and then, you will finally be able to enjoy websites without any bullshit.
It wasn't always like this. it used to be the case that one form of adblocking was enough. And I really want the internet to go back to the way it was 15 or 16 years ago when you didn't need to be careful about what you said online and keeping windows machines secure was simple as long as you knew what to get.

Will all of this finally get rid of the ads on the YouTube app on my TV?
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. 😌
If you have Android tv, you can use smarttube instead of the official one.
I don't use adblock because it increase my browser fingerprint I just disable all JavaScript , no cookies and block tracker requests by my DNS server.
