      Youtube ads cannot be blocked at the DNS level for years.

          Sadly no. Considering how few people use dns blocking YouTube was weirdly aggressive about moving the ads to the same domain as the video content. It’s probably inconvenient for them but they wanted to make sure that the couple thousand people using dns to control ads didn’t get one over in them.

    It works most of the time for me. I do keep updating the filter list in ubo but sometimes it still doesn’t work and i end up with the pop up “Allow ads to play this video”. I’m using Firefox btw.
