    Youtube is always problematic as the ads are served from the same domain as the videos themselves. That means that DNS blocking doesn’t work. I have the same issue with a chromecast+youtube. I have no good solution there.

      Yeah I kinda figured, thanks for replying though. I have an acceptable workaround, but man, once you get used to no ads, it feels like a blizzard of insurance and other crap ads once you use one of the apps not in a computer. It’s actually what’s got me slowly rebuilding an old surface pro with Linux surface—because I enjoy YouTube on tablets, but basically can’t stand the iOS apps anymore haha.
