Out of town and staying with family, which means I'm away from my custom router and it's blocking/protection. Using Edge with Ublock Origin and custom filters. No issues for me.

If it is an android TV or player, sideload SmartTube, skips all the ads without any issues. The worst I get is 5-10 seconds of black screen when starting a video the first time I open the app. Once that first video is played, I never get it again. It also has fairly accurate skip indicators for in-video ads (NordVPN, for example) or engagement reminders (make sure to like and subscribe!) if you don't want to put up with those either.Am I the only one still just using chrome on MacOS with ublock origin and never once seeing ads on youtube or it refusing to play?
On the other hand when I get on youtube on my TV, there's like 45 second + unskippable ads. Collateral damage?
No ads in Brave.Youtube started their mesages against ad blockers again.
