Yattee is an open source YouTube client that uses piped/invidious.

If you jailbreak or side load you can also use uYou+.

Nope. You have to use Android to get a decent ad-blocker.

In all seriousness; iOS REQUIRES you to use DNS level or VPN level ad-blocking typically. I think the only notable exception is that some browser apps might allow extensions. iOS still requires you use Safari browser engine though AFAIK.

Not sure if iOS lets you use the "Private DNS" feature, but using an adblocking DNS is the way to go on Android.

(Looking at that page, it does have iOS instructions available, so I'm guessing yes.)

Firefox Focus and Brave appear to still work.

I recommend Vinegar:

I use this + AdGuard (Pro) which seems to work quite well together.

Better watch youtube from a piped instance.

I switched to Orion browser two weeks ago and it’s really good. Haven’t seen any ads on YouTube anymore, no ads on other sites either. I’ve made it my default browser. Only thing that doesn’t work for me is the consent-o-matic.

Thanks y’all
