Pi-hole gets around this problem by doing all the ad-and tracker-blocking at your router, so all the internet traffic coming into your house is filtered for advertising and tracking.
It gets rid of them from the router level vs the browser level. It blocks them before it even comes to the device. For anyone using your wifi, like wifi on your phone or guests browsing, it’s amazing. Not to mention the speed boosts, as your browser doesn’t have to render ads.
Also YouTube isn’t “banning” people, just throwing more popups. It’ll be a nightmare for YouTube and Google to do any banning. If you’re concerned about being “banned from YouTube”, create new Google accounts just for those purposes.
Ive been adblocking since 2005, and I also have multiple Google accounts for business.
It always makes me laugh when people go, “But what if they ban me?” Like bro they struggle with banning malicious users.

People really think Google gonna ban them for using ad blocker, are out of reality. They not gonna ban you they gonna block you from using service.
