does google allow stuff like this? i would expect they will try to disable it or simple c&d pretty quickly.
Since a lot of people will come to the comments without reading the article itself:
It is embedding the Youtube video, like a lot of websites and apps do - if you ever watched a youtube video outside of youtube.com or official apps, odds are it is using the same API as that app.
It still shows ads and uses the Youtube website directly for certain parts, but with some custom CSS and JS akin to how browser extensions would work.
You didn’t read the article, did you ?
Course not, what am i, a boomer? :) (Luckily someone found it in their hearts to tldr it for me though.)
It’s ok in this case, since it is only an alternative web view and videos are loaded, like on the website, with ads, except, if you have premium, of course. For ad block, I guess, you have to use an extension for safari, which I don’t know if they are supported on vision safari.
great question. some bloke on social media claims it will support safari extensions https://www.reddit.com/r/VisionPro/comments/1aeen10/safari_extensions/
If that's the case, install Vinegar and SponsorBlock and you're good to go
