I have ad blocker. I block all ads at the DNS level. I don't think you can block some of the ads on YT. Is that possible with browser plugins?

I use uBlock Origin and I never see a single ad on YouTube. This is for my laptop though; I still haven't figured a decent solution for my phone.
Did you try Firefox with uBlock Origin on android? It works pretty well for me
That's definitely an option. I was hoping for a solution that works with the native app.
There's uBlock Origin for Firefox on Android
Bookmarklet can help

Adaway.
You probably use an adblocker that receives money from Google to pass through a small amount of ads. 'AdBlock Plus' is one example that does it. Many others as well.

'uBlick Origin' is currently the only one AFAIK that is truly open source and not sponsored by any ad network.

In brave I don't get YT ads w/ default settings. In firefox I use the extension "enhancer for youtube".
There’s a 16-digit code that I pass YouTube that results in 0 ads on the platform. Can’t recommend it enough.
For Android blockada seems to fail to block them
I see no ads, cookie or GDPR popups, no newsletter annoyances, nothing since I set uBlock Origin full nuclear and just ticked all the boxes.
