youtube_ad_blocklist VS nextdns

but the list got so long it was unmaintainable and even a REGEX stack struggled to split it from the actual video servers and led to programs being created to try to manage the mess (e.g. this closed one had 9000+ entries).

I'd like to add these: https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist

This did solve the problem. The output of :config-diff is the following (besides changes in the color style) aliases = {"mpv": "spawn mpv", "q": "close", "qa": "quit", "w": "session-save", "wq": "quit --save", "wqa": "quit --save"} auto_save.interval = 15000 auto_save.session = true backend = webengine bindings.commands = {"normal": {"M": "hint links spawn mpv {hint-url}", "aa": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden", "ap": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden --password-only", "au": "spawn --userscript qute-bitwarden --username-only", "tt": "open -t ", "xs": "config-cycle statusbar.show always never", "xt": "config-cycle tabs.show always never", "yf": "hint links yank"}} bindings.key_mappings = {"": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": "", "": ""} completion.open_categories = ["quickmarks", "searchengines", "bookmarks", "history", "filesystem"] confirm_quit = ["downloads"] content.autoplay = false content.blocking.adblock.lists = ["https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt", "https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt", "https://ewpratten.retrylife.ca/youtube_ad_blocklist/hosts.ipv4.txt", "https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist/blob/master/blocklist.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/ads.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/basic.txt", "https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/youtube.txt", "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistdutch.txt", "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/abp-filters-anti-cv.txt", "https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/", "https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-cookiemonster.txt"] content.blocking.enabled = true content.blocking.method = both content.cookies.accept = no-3rdparty content.cookies.store = true content.default_encoding = utf-8 content.desktop_capture = ask content.headers.referer = same-domain content.javascript.enabled = true content.notifications.presenter = messages content.plugins = false downloads.location.suggestion = path downloads.remove_finished = 10000 editor.command = ["alacritty", "-t", "quteconf", "-e", "nvim", "{file}"] fileselect.folder.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosedir={}"] fileselect.handler = external fileselect.multiple_files.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosefiles={}"] fileselect.single_file.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "ranger", "--choosefile={}"] fonts.default_family = Hack Nerd Font fonts.default_size = 12pt qt.args = ["ignore-gpu-blocklist", "enable-gpu-rasterization", "enable-accelerated-video-decode"] scrolling.smooth = true session.lazy_restore = true statusbar.show = always tabs.last_close = default-page tabs.mousewheel_switching = false tabs.new_position.unrelated = next tabs.select_on_remove = last-used tabs.show = never tabs.title.alignment = center tabs.width = 30 url.default_page = https://grecodavide.github.io/homesite/ url.searchengines = {"DEFAULT": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q={}", "a": "https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i={}", "g": "https://github.com/search?q={}", "p": "https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K={}", "r": "https://www.reddit.com/search/?q={}", "s": "https://stackoverflow.com/search?q={}", "w": "https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/{}", "y": "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={}"} url.start_pages = https://grecodavide.github.io/homesite/ window.hide_decoration = true

I found this and after applying that i'm not getting any pre-video ads at least, but banner ads still show up.

I don't know how to add it to ControlD but pasting https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist/blob/master/blocklist.txt into my browser filter lists does seem to block Youtube ads quite well.

Alternately, using YouTube in a browser with the oisd blocklist and this dedicated youtube ads blocklist should block most ads, but it won’t be reliable.

Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible.

Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be.

Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS

Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings.

Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox.

I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.

You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.

That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

just run snort and get nextdns.io account and use those DNS servers to control your DNS.

I'm using NextDNS which can be integrated into TailScale MagicDNS. It works seamlessly. You may need to pay if you have a high usage rate. I pay for the Pro version but that's less than $30 CAD a year. I did have in house Raspberry PI and Pi-Hole DNS but it was a lot of work.

pretty much to the same effect of a pihole, yet you can get up and running in minutes. You can then configure wherever you please: your browser, your laptop, your phone, or even your router.
