Blocking YT ads on iPad or iPhone (sopuli.xyz)

For a long time, Brave was the best way to do it, but then Orion started supporting Firefox plugins. Safari had some extensions that also worked for a while. Ad blocking worked perfectly, I had many options, and YT was great again.

Recently, all of that changed when YT or Apple implemented something that makes video playback stop after 1 minute. At the moment, I just have to use a proper computer for watching YT, since mobile devices don’t have functioning ad blocking any more.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? Is is just my devices, or do other people have the same issues?

You may not find this answer satisfactory, but you could use Invidious from any browser. I have no idea if there are any Invidious-based iOS apps.

Invidious certainly is a fine solution for casual watching. This might actually end up being sufficient in the long run as YT dives deeper into enshittification.
