Thats not exactly good news, it’s still a cat and mouse game but thankfully the ad block devs are more motivated than the streaming providers currently.

For laptop, pc, or smartphone it’s easy…just install ublock (for browser) or Adguard (for whole protection)

I built a DNS proxy that filters all third-party ads, but ads for the same service (e.g. Paramount advertising its own shows) are hosted by that service, meaning they get through.

Pi-hole?

Pi-Hole is a local dns proxy that filters ads. It’s exactly what was described above, and doesn’t work for ads hosted on the service you want the content from. If you block those ads, you lose the content.

I’m aware. I have two. I was asking if that’s what they built or if it was something else.
