Excellent info. Saving this for later.
Does this block YouTube ads?
It can't block same domain advertisements, but you can use a proxy such as Invidious, an alternative front end such as FreeTube or Grayjay (Android) or pipe that shit into MPV and use an RSS feed reader.
it’s a first line of defense against ads, tracking, malware, and phishing for every device and program that access the internet. as hello^2^ mentions it can’t stop everything. for something like youtube additional solutions are needed.
