on YouTube (on my TV, still need to get a piHole up and running

Unfortunately that won't help. The Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos, so a DNS based blocker is inherently powerless.

FWIW, Linux + FireFox + Ublock still blocks 100% of YouTube ads for me.

Can confirm, Firefox with uBlock Origin works. The OS doesn't seem to matter. I use that combination on Linux (Fedora 43), Windows (10), macOS (15) and Android (16), no YouTube ads anywhere.
