Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video
Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 months agoPi-hole does not block content that is hosted on the same source as the ads. Youtube, hulu and friends host their own ad services so it wont spare you from those. However people using ad services like google adsense on their website will have content blocked as DNS will resolve to the place your trying to go and the webpage asyn-loading its ads will not.

Thanks for confirming! I haven’t used the actual YT app in such a long time, so I haven’t been able to confirm whether my DNS solution works.
