What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?
Playlet for Roku and Clipious and/or SmartTube for android-TV based devices (fire tv)
DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won't skip sponsored segments though, you'll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they've decided to shill.
DNS/piblock
You will still experience ads on devices if you use **only** a pihole. Many content providers (like YouTube / Reddit / Twitch / Spotify / Pandora / Facebook / IMDB / Hulu) now stream/serve ads from the same servers as the content (meaning if you attempt to block the ads using a PiHole you will also block the content).
It’s still worthwhile to use a pihole on your local network. This will be the device that helps reduce the amount of ads and blocks telemetry data on devices (mobile device / streaming box / etc) that you can't utilize some or all of the traditional blocking methods (hosts files / browser plugins / etc). The Pi can also have additional software installed (I recommend PiVPN) to extend these blocking capabilities **securely** when you're not on your "home" wifi.
Your best bet for blocking any and all ads/telemetry/etc is a multitiered approach of a PiHole as well as browser plugins: uBlock origin / Privacy Badger / CanvasBlocker on Firefox or Canvas Defender on Chrome / Decentraleyes / Smart Referer / Ugly Email / Pixel Block / other security browser plugins (as necessary) to prevent ads and protect your privacy.
