Vanced is a modded APK. It takes the YouTube APK and modifies it to block ads and sponsorship via Sponsorblock and lets you run it in the background with the screen off.

NextDNS doesn't block ads on YouTube because they're served from the same domain as YouTube videos.

Oh I didn't know Vanced worked that way.

And you are right. Ads are blocked by newpipe, nextdns in this case is worthless.

Sorry for the misinformation everyone.
