adblocking dns providers are a great no-system-resource, no-battery-usage solution that works in any app/program (not only browsers) and can be added for any system, as well as better online privacy especially using encrypted dns
independent-run with added top-level domain support:
keweonDNS (both, address info is a bit buried in a forum post)
FireFox and Chrome both have settings to add encrypted dns for the browser.
Recommend setting adblocking dns as default on router if possible, sort of makes any router a pi-hole and then automatically sets these as default for any connected device so you can set it once and don’t have to do every device. Try to use at least two different providers for setups with primary/secondary/tertiary in case one has a temporary outage.
It can’t block same domain advertisements, but you can use a proxy such as Invidious, an alternative front end such as FreeTube or Grayjay (Android) or pipe that shit into MPV and use an RSS feed reader.
it’s a first line of defense against ads, tracking, malware, and phishing for every device and program that access the internet. as hello2 mentions it can’t stop everything. for something like youtube additional solutions are needed.

Excellent info. Saving this for later.
Does this block YouTube ads?
