To avoid YouTube ads, I would recommend using the FreeTube (desktop app) or Tube Browser Pro (iOS)

I don’t if AdGuard changed anything. Here’s why my AI had to say:

AdGuard DNS stopped blocking YouTube ads because DNS-based ad blockers, like AdGuard Home, are inherently limited in their ability to block ads on platforms like YouTube. This limitation arises because YouTube serves ads from the same domains as the actual video content, making it impossible for DNS filtering to distinguish between ads and legitimate content. To block YouTube ads effectively, users need to use browser extensions or specific app-based solutions. For instance, AdGuard offers browser extensions and app-based methods that can block ads on YouTube by intercepting and filtering content at a more granular level than DNS filtering allows.

I’m trying to block ads on my projector’s YT app. PC use Adguard but want to block at the router level, any help?

Wow, I can’t believe DNS choice is an issue for services like YouTube.

As soon as I changed DNS servers, interesting things happened. Ad blockers didn’t to irritate them too much but the DNS Guard did. 🙂
