Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

i forget what its called.. pihole? You can set up a small box on your network that can filter out ads on devices that you cant install adblocking on, like on your TV and stuff.

Pihike adblocker doesn’t work for streams, just static content.

Well color me informed.

does not work for youtube. for that, you need either a third party youtube app with builtbin blocking, or a patched official app that adds the blocking.

Or just open the Firefox website in the browser

I guess you meant the youtube website, but on a TV you won't be able to block youtube ads in the browser either

I don't use the smart TV functions, I connect a device to the TV to watch stuff on the TV. I certainly don't use any apps to watch YouTube
