    A DNS blocking system like Pihole can block ads on platforms you don’t control, like smart TVs or mobile apps.

        Yes the way YT loads ads it won’t work to simply block them with a simple DNS pattern match, you need a proper adblocker or third party app. But you can block all the other nuisance clutter on the smart TV, at least.

        My TV is hooked to my PC now as a monitor, so I just watch YT on it right in Firefox.
