AdBlocking on SmartTVs - possible? Through Firefox + AddOns?

Hello,

I’m thinking about getting some sort of (Smart-) TV. Haven’t been using one for 10+ years but I need something to consume media from while comfortably sitting on the couch. Sitting on the PC all day everyday gets pretty exhausting.

Because I’m a PC user, I have AdBlockers in some form running 100% of the time.

The YouTube vs AdBlock thing and doing Watch Together on Discord showed me that I much rather don’t consume media at all than having to sit through that amount of intrusive, toxic advertising.

When on a (Smart-) TV, I’d probably watch YouTube 90% of the time and Netflix for like 10% - so having the ability to AdBlock on YouTube is tremendously important and the absolute priority.

Because YouTube is a bit difficult to use with actual AdBlocking, I have some sort of extension in Firefox that plays the ad at like 500% speed or so - that works great.

But also AdBlocking in other applications would be great.

My question regarding (Smart-) TVs is: are there any that I can install Firefox + AddOns on? Or some that allow AdBlocking altogether?

Because if no, I ain’t buying a TV. Ads are an absolute deal-breaker.
