Is there a way to "hack" the Chromecast and install an AdBlocker or something for YouTube? I paid Google already for the hardware, why also put it full with spam π :google:β:no:β

@stux I know thats possible with a Amazon Fire Stick and Blokada but for a Chromecast I don't know.Maybe you could try DNS based blocking via AdGuard or PiHole or something.

@Mixtape @stux what are the use cases for a chromecast?Probably just Playing a video you want- play a video from your phone on the TV- Browse YouTube / Netflix from the Phone and Play the Video on your TV?

@stux well, there are few tools for streaming files right to the chromecast... but this is not suitable for all people

@stuxYou could go in the easier way: block ads on the router. Check ad blocking solutions for routers.Like Pi-hole or similar.
