What about DNS level AdBlock + FOSS front ends? NewPipe x SponsorBlock and ViMusic.

The problem there it's your hardware, my humble opinion it's grab a cheap Mi TV Stick 4K(don't get fooled by the general opinion of Chinese stuff)from AliExpress and pirate all the way up. I personally didn't like Roku cos their Hardware and Software it's so closed you can't do anything with them unless you pay and you will have to eat up all the adds.

well, YouTube (specifically RedLetterMedia) is the only thing with ads. I specifically avoid the ad laden shit, and am gonna (yeah right. Eventually) get a headless Plex set up downstairs. I'm fucking drowning in blurays and DVDs. Lol
