Nope. Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos so there is nothing you can to to block them via DNS. Your best bet is just installing Ublock for them. Now a days an ad blocker is a security necessity anyways.

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

Doesn't really work for all "embedded" devices, though. Phones, consoles, sticks, etc. all come with their own apps and there's unfortunately not always a reasonable way to install solutions there.

for phones you can use firefox to get ublock on mobile and youtube revanced for an ad-free youtube app :)

Ublock on roku when?

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When you stop using roku and just plug in a cheap used laptop or something instead

Thats about to happen, I’m just going to miss the tv remote user interface

I actually really like the unified remote app. It lets you use your phone as a remote for any computer on the same network. I think the premium version just lets you link more computers otherwise the free version is just as good.
