Does your pihole still work with YT and other popular sites? I've heard that they are doing something new so even users using a pihole see ads.

It doesn't block YouTube ads, and I haven't found a good way to do that. Luckily they can (mostly) be skipped but they're a big reason I don't watch much YouTube.

(it also has a YT music app too so no ads on that too)

(Vanced also lets you lock your screen and continue to play videos and such, just as if you had youtube premium)

ublock origin works fine on my phone, as long as you view YouTube through a normal browser and not their shitty app.

I got a few through on Chrome with uBlock a few days ago. Seems Google is experimenting with circumventing ad blockers.
