Making an ad blocker for Roku

I'm getting sick of Youtube giving me 2 minute unskippable ads every 5 minutes I watch. I read that a raspberry pi can be used to make an ad blocker but I've never done it before, how could I go about doing this? Would I need to program my own app or is there something I can download/piggy back off of. Once I get an adblocker on the pi how do I make the roku run on or through it so that I don't get ads on it. Also I've heard YouTube is cracking down on ad blockers and won't allow you to watch videos if one is detected so how can I bypass this or make it undetectable?

I've seen people use Pi hole but since it's DNS based it won't work for youtube ads i guess? what type of ad blocking method should I be looking at for the roku version of Youtube?
