If it's just YouTube adverts which PiHole is insufficient for, I can
highly recommend Invidious: https://invidious.io/
It's a web service that you can run yourself to put a kind of proxy in
between YouTube and your browser. I have it running in a container on
my LAN. It removes adverts, allows you to download the videos and is
just generally less cluttered than the official YouTube site.
The only scenario I can imagine where this wouldn't work is with
Android 'smart' TVs, on which the web browsers are usually incapable
of playing video properly and so only the first-party YouTube app is
available.
There are similiar programs for Twitter and Reddit:
