So, it definitely doesn't work now, but it's just, I swear I used to able to avoid ads while casting to chromecast by using my computer with ublock origin installed in favour of the android youtube app.

DNS based adblocking doesn't work at all on youtube. They serve it all from the same domains so you can't block the ads without blocking the site. (there are other methods ofc, this is just dns)
