I just got a raspberry pi and hooked it up to my router to block ads on my home network.

Firefox switched. Ad blocking will never go away.

I have an old ACER laptop with just Windows 7 OS and Chrome browser on it that I just use to watch Youtube on because there is no advertisements when I watch it with that laptop. None. I can watch Youtube for hours and never see an ad. I have no idea why. If I watch with my new laptop with Windows 11 there are ads every couple minutes.
Anyone have an explanation for this?

I just dumped Chrome for Firefox. Easy peasy.

I’ve used Chrome for years. Used uBlock Origin for years, and now uBlock Origin Lite. My ads experience in the last couple years hasn’t changed at all. I don’t get peoples hate for it. I don’t get ads on Youtube either. 🤷♂️

The new version of uBlock Origin (uBlock Origin Lite) does the exact same thing as the old one, it just had to be rewritten to be manifest v3 compatible.
Nothing has changed.
The people that actually paid attention knew nothing would change but the tech illiterates that shout the loudest on /r/technology were all doom and gloom.

browsing without an ads blocker is like fornication without a condom

Google accidentally ran the most effective ad campaign for Firefox and DNS-level blockers. Half my friends had never heard of Pi-hole before MV3, now they’re blocking ads across their whole network. Chrome can’t touch that.

Don’t really see this as a problem. No one using Chrome is especially tech-savvy and probably doesn’t even know about blockers.
There are so many better choices, even if you like Chromium, like Brave for an easy experience if you don’t want to use spyware.

Run pi hole but still get ads on my phone. YouTube ads constantly.
Long for the old days where this stuff wasn’t infesting everything

I personally use,
* For Windows: Firefox + uBlock Origin, Brave (with optional uBO)
* For Android: Firefox + uBlock Origin
* For Android TV: SmartTube Next
* For macOS: same as Windows along with Safari + uBlock Origin Lite
* For iOS: Safari + uBlock Origin Lite
* Adblock DNS servers on my Android devices
* Pi-Hole network level ad blocking
Yeah, ad block was never dead for me. Chrome however is.
