Blocking YT ads on iPad or iPhone (sopuli.xyz)

For a long time, Brave was the best way to do it, but then Orion started supporting Firefox plugins. Safari had some extensions that also worked for a while. Ad blocking worked perfectly, I had many options, and YT was great again.

Recently, all of that changed when YT or Apple implemented something that makes video playback stop after 1 minute. At the moment, I just have to use a proper computer for watching YT, since mobile devices don’t have functioning ad blocking any more.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? Is is just my devices, or do other people have the same issues?

I used Orion for a bit too whatever Apple did to break it is annoying but I’ve moved back to Piped and while it’s not perfect I haven’t seen a single ad and I got sponsor block built in.

Some instances don’t work due to google cracking down but there’s plenty they haven’t got yet
