Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone

GrayJay seems to work for that.

You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?
Android streaming boxes are the most flexible. Replace the stock launcher with projectivy once set up.
Inexpensive/basic: Onn
Best for multi-speaker theaters and video upscaling: Nvidia Shield Pro
Same but I don't use YouTube I tend to use it for TV. Cast and forget cable TV for free.
I hate edge but edge also let's you stream from your PC to TV with no ads.

I don't hate them. I think 80% should go back to the creators though.
When they’re every few minutes, screw that. I do.
