Best solution is PiHole. If you can find RaspberryPi, but any replacement will work. Essentially local DNS which ignores requests to ad servers. There are also some other DNS servers which filter ads. But I've had less success with them.
In my experience PiHole doesn't stop YouTube ads on the mobile app. I imagine that it won't fix on a TV either.
The only solution I've found on mobile without installing security certificates and stuff is to use You tube's website on Firefox with ublock installed there too.
Yeah. Just found that out. Although uBlock kills those for me. Perhaps setting up a proxy and blocking those URLs could work.
Pihole won't keep you from watching ads,for what I know its because google uses the same servers to serve the content and the ads.Pihole is great to browse the web though.. I have it at home. For me what gets the job done is newpipe for my android phone and Smartube on my Android TV.
Hm, then it won't.
