Wouldn't ads or no ads be a feature of the stream you are watching? I have an ad blocker on my computer but that only affects the browser, not the stream it is showing. Are you watching the same thing (Hulu, Netflix, Disney) on both your computer and your dumb smart TV?

If the TV really is interrupting a streaming app (Hulu, Netflix, Disney) to insert an ad then I would definitely get a Roku or firestick and avoid the "smart" features of that TV and I would keep that in mind when I purchased my next TV.
