          Yep. I tried doing this with Hulu’s self-serving ads and I blocked enough domains that it just quit working

        Doesn’t work. I have network wide DNS filtering, but that alone doesn’t stop YT ads.

        If you have a link to a GitHub host file for that, I’d definitely take a peak.

        Otherwise, uBlock and *Pipe apps.

        Try blocking the ads.
        You will block the video serving domains as well :)

        YT/Google aint that stupid and knows how to bundle both for your convenience.

      I never see Vivaldi mentioned in these. Yes, it’s chromium based, but I have not seen a single YouTube ad since they implemented built-in ad block many years ago. Without the need for extensions, plug-ins, or user managed block lists.

        yeah, ive been using vivaldi and only very recently did i see my player diabled with ubo off but if i disable ubo and put vivaldi’s blocking option to just block trackers, that does the trick tho the ad starts with a black screen but the skip button instantly appears under .5 seconds or the video starts
