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.

Vivaldi is proprietary garbage

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
