    Surprisingly the latest Chromecast was more adblocking-friendly as it’s actually an Android TV and I could install smart tube on it, my old Chromecast couldn’t block YouTube ads

      These days I was more worried about it injecting ads of its own. Plus surely it tracks everything that it can.

        By default yeah there are plenty of ads, but it’s an Android device so you do have (limited) power to replace a lot of the ad-showing bits. It’s about simplicity though, if you want more control for less convenience then there are plenty of setups you could run on an RPi.
