So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven't been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.
Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.
I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?
I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?
If ads are injected server-side like the article is taking about, your downloads in Newpipe and Kodi are going to have the ads in them.
use ublock origin, so far it's been pretty much problem free.
Outside of this, use something like yt-dlp to run your own jellyfin instance or something.
You would have to block the video itself to get rid of them
Pihole will not work because it works on the DNS queries. With server side injection it’s gonna be tougher to block ads, but I’m sure we’ll find a way
