It's a great project, but I'm waiting for the day it will be able to block ads that roll before youtube videos play.

Which will never happen for DNS-only blockers like pi-hole.

See e.g. here: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#known-limitations

Adguard apparently plans to support it: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/1228

I had the same thought but it is not possible. I installed as blockers on my PCs, SmartTubeNext on my Android tv and finally YT vanced on my phone

Thanks, I'll check out SmartTubeNext!

Brave browser blocks all youtube video ads.

Seconding this. I use Brave strictly as my YouTube viewer.
