New to this, what should I do?

I feel like I’m rage baited into buying premium but after skipping what seems like a thousand ads, I’ve developed a one sided grudge with youtube…. So I’d much rather do anything else before resorting to that. I’ve had the same google chromecast 3 nc2-6a5 for more than 4 years and it used to skip youtube ads automatically. That was until this year, when it suddenly stopped and now I have to skip every add individually. In 2015 that wouldn’t really be a problem, but in 2026 you have to be the most stoic or genuinely crazy person not to be upset about it. So here I am, at the end of the road to insanity asking for help. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a Google Chromecast 3rd gen nc2 and a philips 43hfl2849t 12 tv (not a smart tv). Is there a sliver of hope for my setup or do I have to buy a newer chromecast?

What solutions are best for me?

I was using chrome + adguard and loved it. Now I'm getting bsod with adguard (netio.sys) and have to move away from adguard.

Now I'm thinking brave instead of chrome but is just brave enough? Does it block all reddit sponsored ads? All youtubes too? What about twitch ads?

Before it gets mentioned I am not going to Firefox and ublock origin. Firefox has audio issues on YouTube videos when skipping ahead and on YouTube shorts where it makes robotic sounds every time I click ahead in a video.

Any WORKING solution for ads on twitch?

Is there currently any working AD Blocker for Twitch? I'm using newest UBlock + Temper Monkey with multiple scripts that cause more harm anyway.

the ads that still get everyone are the ones outside the browser

been helping folks with this stuff for a while now and the same pattern keeps coming up, so figured i'd post it.

browser ads? solved. ublock origin, free, done. nothing to argue there.

where ads still get through is the part people miss:

• youtube app on phones and tvs (an extension can't touch an app)
• smart tv and streaming apps
• free mobile games and apps
• twitch when your setup misses it

the only thing that reaches those is filtering at the system level, or dns filtering on the router, because it catches the ad request before the app even loads it. everything else is whack-a-mole.

curious where you all still see ads sneaking through?

Firefox focus removes ads from my iphone, but 10yo son gets his brain fried in Ipad.

In short, we both love youtube for different reasons. I learned that if you download firefox focus you can watch videos without ads. Why doenst this work on his ipad? How do i make him watch adfree?

Vizio TV

I bought a Vizio TV as a "cheap" replacement for my daughter's TV that stopped working properly after 10 years. It's bad enough I had to register it through Vizio AND Walmart, and had to agree to 4 pages of "we watch everything you do" agreements, just to unbrick the TV. All we use it for is our Firestick. I dont care about it's streaming capabilities. I want "On" and "Volume". The rest is handled by the Firestick and the Firestick remote.

But, this blasted thing changes to the Vizio Home input every 3-6 hours, and pops up an ad banner for something (Dish Network, YouTube, random this and that) that we dont use/never have any intentions of using. Now, the Firestick doesn't work, because its no longer on the correct input/source. I have to dig out the Vizio remote to decline the ad and change inputs.

Now, imagine, this is a young child that is getting unsolicited ads forced on her, and her having to come get us to reset everything.

It appears I made a grand mistake getting a Vizio. Or, is there a way to prevent the TV ads from intercepting the Firestick broadcast?
