If you are using the open source Firefox web browser to browse YouTube and watch its videos, then you might have noticed that there is an artificial delay
Google slows down Firefox users when watching YouTube…
Pi-Hole can’t block YouTube ads. Use LibreWolf with uBlock Origin, it works like a dream. Or try alternative frontends for YouTube like Invidious or Piped. These are even better when combined with LibRedirect, it automatically redirects all YouTube links to your preferred alternative frontend.
Even though Pi hole doesn’t block youtube ads, that’s probably what is triggering the ad blocker blocker. Unfortunately I don’t know a way around that but I’m sure someone in one of the pihole communities has figured it out.

I use PiHole at home for sytem wide blocking and Vivaldi as my main browser.
I get the adblocker blocker on my main google account, but I have a couple of others for hobbies and I have not seen the blocker there.

I do not have an issue with blocking YouTube ads. Vivaldi does that perfectly.
The issue is the new adblocker blocker that YouTube is throwing up.
For that I have 2 simple solutions, Invidious or screw it and go read a book.

Vivaldi looks like it supports extensions. Try out UBlock Origin for it. I use that add-on and a PiHole and have had no issues.
