Tube Archivist is great, as long as you don’t mind waiting a bit to watch stuff. As far as I know Grayjay is still working fine.
Is it possible it was your Goggle TV that showed the ad?

Are these youtube ads or are you saying the app itself is displaying the ad? No mention of it yet on github.

Much more likely that m.youtube.com (which I believe is what SmartTube uses?) has found a way to start passing on ads.
How could that happen without anyone implementing that into the app? At least it sounds like that’s what you’re arguing.

Google has been playing whackamole with all alternative frontends for a long while.
But the result is never that ads just magically pop up in these alternative frontends, it’s that they stop working (and people quickly fix it).
Interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Do you remember which video triggered the popup?

I’d highly recommend giving TizenTube Cobalt a try. It’s really solid and I havent had any issues so far.
This also happens to me, using the Smarttube flatpak, I think that it’s a “feature” from the youtube tv original app, and it bleeds into Smarttube because what it does is faking being the original youtube tv app with some extra modifications.
Edit, I am using VacuumTube from flatpak, not Smarttube, but it’s the same concept.

Sounds very strange, maybe it’s something your TV did? Especially if you have a Samsung TV
