I am using the default launcher and while I get ads for TV shows in the home screen, I do not get ads for third-party products like chicken wraps. I can also watch Youtube without getting third-party ads during or in-between videos. I assume given this is not BS, the ads are not being served from the same domain as the video.

I really don't believe it. At some point it was even a suggested workaround to intercept requests to port 53 because the Shield or its apps were not honoring your network's DNS configuration. Which would be similar to the pihole not being in the picture at all.

If it's really working for you, I suggest telling the community how you've done it because this question pops up every other day and the answer is always the same.
