Doesn't really work for youtube, as some of the ads are served from the same server as the content.
The pi hole doesn't by itself, but adding in ublock origin is typically enough to get the job done. I basically never see youtube ads outside of the sponsored sections and I guess I could use sponsor block for that
I dont use a pi hole (but am heavily considering setting one up).
Right now I use newsboat rss to "subscribe" to whoever I want. When it opens Librewolf browser, a redirect extension takes me to an invidious instance of my choosing, the NoScript extension blocks everything, but the url is all i really need.
I copy that url. I use yt-dlp to download video from invidious via my terminal emulator. Sponsorblock flags, give me captions flag, and if I'm willing to wait the extra time and give it the extra hard drive space, the best video flag. No ads, no sponsors, no JavaScript tracking me. Pure fuck marketers goodness.
Thats a great setup lol
