Huh interesting, I have ublock origin in chrome and it’s never blocked a YouTube and, I was under the impression that Google does clever stuff to basically serve ads the same way as videos, so you can’t block one without the other.
I used to use Vanced too, until it was discontinued the other year :-(
Most of my YouTube watching is on my LG WebOS TV though, and unfortunately even pihole DNS blocking, the only thing I can do with the TV, can’t block any of it :-(
Vanced discontinued development, but the app itself continues to work. Plus, I’m pretty sure they just rebranded and re-released a different app that doesn’t just rip off YouTube’s logo and whatnot. I just don’t know what it’s called now. ReVanced, I think.
I’ve been blocking YouTube ads with Ublock Origin for years on desktop and with Vanced on mobile. It’s definitely possible.
