I recently bought a Samsung QN90A Neo 4K Smart neoQLED TV. Amazing TV coming with the Youtube app. But... Youtube is a disaster : 2 unskipable ads before every video! Sometimes, it's worst : survey before the ads, then ads, 2 min of the video, more ads, ads, ads etc. This platform became unbearable...
Blocking ads on a PC is super easy. Conversely, I spent weeks looking for a solution for my TV. Surprisingly, no efficient trick seems to exist! Especially for Samsung TV running on their own operating system.
I tried manually blocking URL on my router. It didn't work. I kept looking all over the internet and I couldn't find any simple solution except : buy YT premium, stream from your PC... There is also this piHOLE project but I'm not willing to invest into additional hardware (and piHOLE apparently doesn't work on YT).
Even tho the question was asked many times, according to my research, it was never addressed.
Question : Does anyone have a free and easy magic trick to block Youtube ads on a Samsung TV?
