Stupid Question: Blocking Ads in YouTube TV on Steam Deck Firefox Browser

I have a Steam Deck setup as a media PC, used primarily for watching streaming services ad-free via Firefox with uBlock Origin. I recently got access to YouTube TV via a family member's subscription, watch it through Firefox, but uBlock isn't blocking ads. Googling the problem has thus far only shown solutions for the dedicated app. Is it possible to block YouTuve TV adds on browser? Doesn't have to be Firefox specifically as long as it's compatible with Steam Deck.

I was so annoyed by popups and cookie banners that I made a Safari extension. These were my most successful 3 days so far

I was so annoyed by popups and cookie banners that I made a Safari extension. These were my most successful 3 days so far

I was so annoyed with all the popups, cookie permissions and ads, so I made a Safari extension for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It blocks:

- Google AI results- Google sponsored results- Cookie popups- Ads, including YouTube (100% score on Adblock test)- Newsletter popups- Open in app banners- Help chat bubbles

And other annoyances on the web.

If it misses something and you close it yourself, the app learns it, and it won't show up again.

I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one annoyed, but I never guessed it would be this many. 654 people downloaded it in the last 3 days (screenshot). That's by far the most it has ever had, so I'm still a bit in shock :)

If you want to try it out, you can get one month free on this page https://soannoying.app/year

Or just search "So Annoying! Ad Blocker" on the App Store.

If it's not for you, cancel before the month ends and you pay nothing.

I would love to hear from you. What else annoys you on the web that you'd want removed? And if something gets through or breaks a site, tell me and I'll fix it.

Does anyone know an ad blocker that works on CBS?

Hello! Trying to watch Tracker on the CBS streaming site. It doesn’t work in Brave Browser or on Google chrome with the ad blockers I have installed. Anybody know one that does work on CBS? Thanks!

How has your ad-blocking setup evolved over the years?

Blocking ads somehow turned into an arms race...

Started with a basic browser ad blocker. Then moved on to HTTPS filtering when that wasn’t enough. Then came the really stubborn in-app ads that somehow still found a way through.

Every time ads get harder to block, the setup seems to level up too

What did you start with, and what are you using now for the really stubborn stuff?

Also, big thanks to everyone here. I’ve picked up many useful tricks!
