Is there a FREE way to make YouTube Ad Free?
Is there a free and safe way to get rid of the ads on YouTube on a smart TV, whether or not using Roku or just the YouTube on the tv? YouTube Premium is way to expensive. Thank you!

A few different options.
1. use a chromium based web browser like Brave with their built-in ad-blocker on your laptop. Can also add the Ghostery extension for additional blocking. Then connect an HDMI from laptop to your TV and bypass the Roku altogether.
2. Use a web casting application with built-in ad blocking capabilities like Web Video caster that is available for Roku. (https://www.webvideocaster.com/home)

3. Use an open-source alternative frontend to Youtube like https://invidious.io/ that does not use the Youtube API. (would use with a laptop and HDMI method as described above or can also cast it through your Roku.
4. If you like Invidious.io, then you can try using Playlet on your Roku device. (uses invidious.io) https://channelstore.roku.com/details/840aec36f51bfe6d96cf6db9055a372a/playlet
