Use a front-end like Piped or Invidious and be happy.

I had a couple of adverts make it through yesterday in the UK, just closed the tab and went to some locally hosted content instead. Seems like its working again today. I don't log into youtube at all.

AdGuard on Mac for safari, unlock origin for anything other than chrome.

Technically side loading apps should be legal now on iOS in the EU are there any iOS players?

The brave browser is a pretty good option on iOS, it has a good Adblock and it has support for background audio (assuming you enable it in the browsers settings)

It is one of the only browsers on iOS that I know of that has support for both, meaning you can use it to listen to YouTube music with no ads and with the screen off.

Brendan Eich personally donated money to the campaign which successfully banned same-sex marriage in California. That alone makes him and anything that potentially earns him money off limits for me. Thankfully he's no longer at Mozilla

I got one 2 days ago, refreshed and it went away (FireDragon with ublock)

It actually pushed me further, I now browse Youtube logged out and disabled every piece of tracking i could find

Doesn't YouTube premium still have ads?

had the same thing happen today, unlock origin doesn't work anymore. wish they hadn't killed the speedup one bc that compromise works perfect (IMO).
