Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone

PiHole can mostly block ads on propetiary software

SmartTube

You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?

Android streaming boxes are the most flexible. Replace the stock launcher with projectivy once set up.

Inexpensive/basic: Onn

Best for multi-speaker theaters and video upscaling: Nvidia Shield Pro

Same but I don't use YouTube I tend to use it for TV. Cast and forget cable TV for free.

I hate edge but edge also let's you stream from your PC to TV with no ads.

EDIT: Not reading any of the replies, so enjoy your circle jerk.

Use the Brave browser and you won't get any ads. Glorious.

Ublock Origin + Firefox fork :3

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Also a good option, but I like that Brave's native adblocker works better without addons.

Yup, it's my backup if I need a chromium browser for something. I just don't engage with the BAT nonsense and it's about as good as a chromium browser can get IMO.

Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is my main though, mostly because I want to support independent browser engines.

That's what I do as well when mozillatards begin questioning my browser choice, thinking they're much better person than I am. Hope they enjoy their dying browser.
