you know you can watch YT without ads with an adblocker for free...
Is that possible on webOS?
Hmm I don't know much about that OS, but I have read that you can use a raspberry pi or similar hooked up to your network to block ad domains or whatever before they even reach your device. There's probably other options available that I haven't looked into
Pihole and other DNS based blockers don't work on YouTube. It serves ads from the same domain it serves ordinary videos.
Yeah. I could try pihole. I think that works well in general but now YouTube ads and videos come from the same servers.
Can you do that on the Nvidia Shield YT app (which is how we watch it on our TV)?
Look if you know how to get Vizio TVs to do that hook a brother up.
