firefox and ublock, which works for me. From what I have read this is happening to chrome users.

Or Newpipe

or Revanced

or Freetube.

Or uYou on iOS

Or SmartTube on android TV

You don't have to jailbreak an apple device anymore, side loading works?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

You don’t have to jailbreak, you just have to use AltStore and “renew” the app every 7 days. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass in all honesty but it’s still better than watching ads.

Try Yattee: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/yattee/id1595136629

I do sometimes find stuff I wanna watch when browsing through YouTube though, and the uYou app is really good. Even allows me to stream up to 4K and screen off etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yattee is so much slower than uYOU. You can also go to any instance url on safari browser and add it to the homescreen and use inviduous as a webapp. But neither one works as good as uYOU when I'm out on the road.

Also:

If you have access to an Apple dev account this is avoidable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Even more of a pain for me because I am on Linux so have to spin up my Windows 11 VM just to use altstore.

There’s also Yattee for iOS on the App Store. It uses an Invidious instance and I guess because the piracy isn’t part of the app itself it passes the rules? There are plenty of public instances. It also has SponsorBlock built in.

Here’s the app: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/yattee/id1595136629

yeah, FF with ublock, sponsorblock and return dislike on PC works fine.

revanced on mobile works perfectly as well.

youtube can stick it up their ass.
