On Linux or Windows? Firefox + uBlock origin (there’s nothing better than that)
On Mac? Firefox + uBlock origin (worse alternative: Safari + AdGuard, since you might synch browser with iPhone)
On Android? Firefox + Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin
On iOS? Safari + AdGuard + Vinegar + Baking Soda
On SmartTV it’s different.
Hardest overall solution: Get yourself a Pi-Hole https://pi-hole.net/
For WebOS TVs use this: https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos
Android TVs should get SmartTube: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube#smarttube-old-name-smarttubenext
RokuTVs got either this thing: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-ca/details/840aec36f51bfe6d96cf6db9055a372a/playlet or the open source alternative: https://github.com/iBicha/playlet
You should note that Pi-Hole works for YouTube on gaming consoles aswell!
I look forward to the day apple is forced to allow other browser engines to run on iOS.
Unfortunatly, they were smart. To the average lawmaker, Firefox, chrome, edge, etc all run on ios, so there's no issue.
Why use privacy badger on Android?
And for Samsungs tizen os smart TV's tizentube for YouTube with a pi hole for the ads in the interface.
