Hi there, I installed Pi-Hole two days ago and was working fine for all of about a day and a half, now I'm still seeing YouTube ads on almost every video on my phone, what's the cause for this?

I also have a 3-4 second pause on most videos before they start to play but this is only on my PC, I don't see any ads on my PC. Not sure why one would be blocking and one wouldn't, also I do have my phone setup correctly because it seems to block most other ads on webpages just fine.

On a side note, does anyone know how to blocked the ads on 4oD/All4 they seem impossible to blocked no matter what I whitelist!

> Update 2020-10-24 It's not likely that you'll be able to block in-video ads with Pi-hole. For that, you'll need something like uBlock origin for desktop, or vanced for android (Now defunct), This thread has been closed as there is not much more discussion to be had around the topic.

> Hey, new to PiHole here and really loving it. One problem though -- there's about a 10ish-second delay at the beginning of every Youtube video, but only in Chrome. I think it has to do with the way Chrome renders pages, but I'm not sure. When I click on a video and the video page loads up, the actual video portion is black except for the controls (which don't do anything because there's no video to play). Then, about 10 seconds later, a little grey box with a frowning file icon will appear wher…

Turn off QUIC in Chrome helps neutralize the ads for Youtube.

> It has been reported that Pi-hole is not blocking some Google ads when using Chrome but not other browsers. This is the result of Google using the [QUIC protocol to deliver the advertisements](https://blog.brave.com/quic-in-the-wild/). The [QUIC protocol is actually quite useful](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lmL9EF6qKrk7gbazY8bIdvq3Pno2Xj_l_YShP40GLQE/edit#) and can make your browsing experience faster. If you see this behavior and want to block these ads again: navigate to chrome://flags/ in the address bar search for QUIC disable it [image]

I've found every video starts as the tab opens.

Using firefox 6.0.1 on linux /fedora.  
Pi-Hole version 3.0  
DNS is 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1 (which is cloudflare)  
raspberry pi 3.  
I was testing speeds out and noticed I no longer have ads in youtube as well.
