    It’s cheaper for me to just bump up my Adguard DNS subscription on my home router. Though I’ve only done limited testing to see how efficient it handles YT ads. (so far seems to work).

    Honestly, the $3 CAD I spend on Adguard DNS through my router has been incredible. I’m flabbergasted when I connect to someone else’s Wi-Fi and see what the Internet looks like outside my door walls.

      Are you speaking about Adguard Home? That’s free, if you’re talking about their premium DNS, there are free alternatives with ad-blocking.

      You can’t block Youtube ads via DNS for quite some years now.

          I just meant for ads in general. As for YouTube, Firefox with ublock origin is still working wonders for me.

            Unfortunately, I don’t think there is an ad blocker for, say, Roku, where I do most of my YouTube viewing

            Really wish there was a viable alternative, and not just because of the ads, yt is the last Google thing I still consciously use
