I believe you would need a pihole, is like a ad block but in the entire network, so you could even use the official youtube app on a tv and not get any ad

I think they serve the ads from the same domain so DNS blocking wont work. And I heard they are testing baking the ads into the actual video.

I was using the pihole from my pc back in the day and it did work, but i totally forget about the ad injection on the videos

Pihole hasn’t made any difference on devices like smart TVs and consoles for years, at least in my experience. It really sucks but they broke me and I bought premium family because we use YouTube a lot on non pc devices and I hate ads so much
