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?

I’m using the free adguard, so I don’t have access to all of the features. However, for a while it was able to block YT ads on Safari, but those days are now gone.

Sideloading stuff is something I should look into though. Got any good sources to get me started?
