Pi-Hole can't block YouTube ads. Use LibreWolf with uBlock Origin, it works like a dream. Or try alternative frontends for YouTube like Invidious or Piped. These are even better when combined with LibRedirect, it automatically redirects all YouTube links to your preferred alternative frontend.

@netchami

I do not have an issue with blocking YouTube ads. Vivaldi does that perfectly.

The issue is the new adblocker blocker that YouTube is throwing up.

For that I have 2 simple solutions, Invidious or screw it and go read a book.
