Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!?

From my experience, if you’re on iOS then Brave is the only browser I know of that includes a built-in adblocker (although I have my own issues with Brave).

If you’re on Android, should be able to just install Firefox (or a fork like Fennec), tap the three dots in the app > Extensions > uBlock Origin

If you’re otherwise using the YouTube app, I don’t have much to add in that respect as I usually use Invidious or NewPipe.

FYI Brave is about to start having issues with the Manifest V3 shit since it’s Chromium based

  MV3 only applies to extensions. Brave’s adblocker is implemented in their content filtering engine, which is part of the browser itself. This completely bypasses the extension system.

Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

  Yes! I happen to already have a good blocker but I use Vinegar Extract for some enhancement.

Does Vivaldi not have an iOS version? It’s made by the original Opera founder that didn’t go all crypto bro and paycheck advance scammer.

You can block YouTube ads with AdGuard in Safari as well.

  This is what I use. Good to hear it’s not depreciated on more modern versions of the OS that my ol’ 6S Plus isn’t able to run.

Brave has agreements with some ad services.

Just use a good paid ad blocker. I have Adblock pro for years as a Safari extension and I never ever see an ad.

Does iOS Edge not have the adblocker? No Firefox extensions for iOS either?

Orion Browser also has a built-in ad-blocker that also gets rid of Youtube ads. It even has some support for Firefox extensions, including uBlock Origin.
