Still using Firefox + ublock origin + sponsorblock. I've not seen an ad on YouTube for years.
On my phone I'm using Tubular, a fork of NewPipe with Sponsorblock integration.
Yeah ditto, been working fine for me
Same, on phone Newpipe works fine for me so far.
Seen plenty of people talking about the crazy ads they see on Youtube. Right wing propaganda, blatant grifting, scams... Folding Ideas has done not one but two videos talking about the ads he saw and picking them apart. Surely the people complaining about these ads know adblockers exist right? Why don't they use them? I'm sure there are several reasons but, it's been a known quantity for decades that you have the power to control how many and what kind of ads you see.
Is Tubular an Android only thing? I can’t find it. I'm still looking for an iOS solution.
You can use Yattee with this guide
Will try this tonight. Thanks!
If this doesn't work for you, I have another (not as great) option that I used to use, back when I was using iOS. You can find a Invidious or Piped instance you like and a shortcut to it on your home screen. Obviously, that's not as great as having a nice native app, but it works.
