I've been going with no ads on mobile for years and years now. It's been painless with Vanced and now its successor ReVanced. Unlike with YT Premium, ReVanced also has the added bonus of SponsorBlock. It just makes modern YouTube so much better and is entirely free.

Downside is yeah it won't work on iOS... Tbh, it's one of the main reasons why I refuse to buy an iOS device. I can't fucking stand in video ads.

Or Firefox with the uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock plugins.

Watching YouTube in a mobile browser is a shit experience imo. It's better than using the stock YouTube app with ads out the wazoo, but it's still not a great experience. Not being able to utilize PIP mode while browsing for a new video or inside of another app really sucks.

Firefox+unlock+SponsorBlock is fantastic for desktop. But it's subpar for mobile imo.

PIP mode

Good point, I didn't realize I'd never done picture-in-picture on the phone. For me, it's enough to do split-screen with e.g. a game in the second screen.

More and more I get tempted to get an iPhone (Pro) especially now they have USB-C, but until sideloading there becomes as easy as it is on Android, it's still gonna be a tough sell for me.
