Pihole doesn’t work on YouTube so this won’t either.
YouTube serves ads from their own domain, can’t be blocked this way.
Comment on YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?

If you're very bothered by the ads, instead of an adblocker you can try out an Ad-blocking DNS. Personally, I use noads.libredns.gr
This will allow them to see all your data though, so I recommend using this method with a reputable VPN.

It allows who to see what data?

Presumably they mean it allows the DNS provider to see your internet traffic, but I don't believe that's wholly accurate. I believe at most they'd be able to log timestamps of what domains you visited.

I too have moderate believes that what you say is in fact correct. +1

Never heard of LibreOps and checked them out; they seem legit. Thanks for the information, I will try them out!

Nope. DNS blocking will cover about 90% of ads, not YouTube or IMDb though, probably some others too. They’re served from same domain.

dns-based blockers do not work on youtube. google delivers ads from the same hostnames as the content.
