doesnt block ads inside of the samsung internet browser though, you need to use adblock extension inside the browser for that

Try this:
1. Go to playstore, Samsung Internet and untick the auto-update option.
2. Uninstall Samsung Internet and reinstall it from the Galaxy store. In some regions the Galaxy store version is the old one.
2a. If that doesn't work, go to sammobile and find an older Samsung Internet ( version 5.something? ) and install that.
3. After that go into playstore again and check if the auto-update is still un-ticked.
Now you'll have the older browser with all the features you like!

Download this last samsung browser, which supports Video Assistant Extension. Updated version uninstall from playstore, and uncheck auto update for this app.

Disable Chrome browser, log into YouTube vanced and then you can enable Chrome again. That worked for me.
Is it me or do ads at start of a video still find a way to play?

It had never played an ad here.
Hey,
I'm looking to bypass youtube ads, that are getting more and more annoying everyday.
Do you think that downgrading chromecast to an older version (and blocking updates) would allow me to get youtube without ads, as it used to be a few years ago ?
Maybe setting a custom dns still works, but I've read that ads nowadays come directly from youtube.com
Did any of you tried that ?
Cheers
Use Youtube Vanced

that dosen't work any more for me any way's
I'm trying to figure outdifferent approaches and I kind of run into a wall here.
I don't just want to block youtube ads, I want to block all ads within the Chromecast. I'm somewhat tech savvy but not advanced with routing. So far I've side loaded adguard onto the Chromecast and installed it successfully. However, I've not found a way to install the certificate for https. I've been looking into ways to do that but I'm not sure it's possible.
I bought a raspberry pi to try to figure out how to do adguard and managed to install it but then somehow I couldn't log back in so that's another mess I'm trying to figure out.
Thirdly I've already screwed up my router so I might as well try to figure out how to install open wrt.
Can anybody give me some advice about which way to go and what's the best method? Or am I missing something? Like rooting the Chromecast? I've always rooted my phone's I mean it will that make a difference?
There is currently no root for Chromecast with Google TV.
You should be able to block ads via PiHole but you'll probably run into problems and need to whitelist some links depending on what apps you use.
There's also apps like this that you could use or VPNs with ad-blocking built-in. Though, apps like Amazon Prime, Hulu, and some others can tell if you're using a VPN on it sometimes. I've also never been able to really block ads on those on Google TV.
I have a paid VPN with adblocking but what I mostly do is use apps like SmartTubeNext (SmartYouTube predecessor now that it's defunct) and then I'll use Lucky Patcher to patch out ads on any really ad-heavy apks. However, this can't be done for apks like Hulu, Amazon Prime (free w/ ads section), etc.
I've used Blokada to try to block ads, without luck. I've tried blocking almost everything google, I only ended up having Google TV think it's offline, and would not provide access to the applications list.
I have a raspberry pi with AdGuardHome and it works on apps, but not on YouTube since they're served from the same domain.
Casting from phone to TV will show up ads no matter what. So the best alternative is to use smarttubenext, which is great and updated frequently.
I wouldn't root it even if it was possible though, you may break your widevine level.
If you have any doubt regarding AdGuardHome you can send me a pm or telegram
I sideloaded Adguard onto mine and it works fine out of the box. The only thing I can't enable on it is https filtering since there is no app available that can save the certificate. I've even tried sideloading Google Files but that didn't allow me to save the certificate either. For now, I don't think it's possible to save the crt file for https filtering on the Chromecast.
I'm using a stock Chromecast HD with Google TV.
