This was annoying me in browsers so i did a bit of reading and found out that not only can I remove their ad block blocker in browser, but my TVs also support ad free YouTube. Thanks Google! Couldn't have done it without you.

Can you point me to ad free tv please

SmartTube (formerly SmartTubeNext).

Any idea is there anything similar available on LG webOS?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe YouTube WebOS ? It has adblock and sponsorblock supports as well. It can be installed from webos homebrew channel. Check https://www.webosbrew.org/ to get started.
