TalosYouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
average650I'm certainly not an expert in this, but surely there are ways to get around this right? Pihole? Could ad blockers fake ads being played?
zakharovAt least for me, and as far as I know, Pihole doesn't block YouTube ads. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I'd love a network-level solution. Currently just have uBlock Origin for blocking YT ads.
misguidedfunkPihole will not block YouTube ads. I think it’s incapable of doing so without blocking YouTube.
I can confirm this - the content comes from the same DNS name as the ads, this means pihole cannot distinguish between them
The solution then falls on something like ublock origin - sadly layers of ad blocking is needed in this day and age
