Oh trust me, even if you block them via pihole/DNS, use Unlock Origin, Sponsorblock ect.. you still run into ads when family members show you crap off their phones or TVs.

I will say, the only time I see ads on my own devices are on Twitch. It is so jarring when it happens. I almost never see ads, but Twitch seems to have figured out how to bypass everything I set up. If anyone happens to know how I can fix it, let me know! It's literally the only website I can see ads on and it's bothering me!

Twitch ads can be bypassed on pc via experemental ublock filters + firefox (in my experience chromium browsers even with mv2 support can't block twitch ads), but sometimes player can crash

Twitch does not show ads in certain countries. I set my VPN to Bulgaria if I want to watch twitch.

Luckily, all family members have the same setup I have.
