Miracast is an alternative but that is not available on my TV (Google doesn't like it)
At the moment I can connect the PC to the TV via a HDMI cable but that is hardly convenient.
Google is all pervasive.
I am sure that they are putting excessive ads on Youtube to persuade/force people to subscribe to their YouTube Red service.
The problem is that there is no alternative to Youtube at the moment (I know there are things like Vimeo but they are minnows compared to Youtube)

Chromecast is not only a device but a system. I believe you can get adblockers for Chrome but as I say I avoid Google products as much as possible because I am already using an Android phone, tablet and TV.
