open_doorYoutube for iOS without ads
I watch it in the orion browser with ublock
buh [she/her, any]you can use the web version with adguard and it won’t show ads, though sometimes you have to refresh to get to the video
RustyShacklefordIn the AppStore, search Vinegar. Works for me. 👍
Just FYI for anybody that looks it up, it appears to be a paid application.
It’s a Safari extension for 1.99 USD
I recommend this. Firefox Focus works for free also
Use the Yattee app and connect it to your preferred invidious or piped instance.
Can also vouch for yattee
does it open Youtube links by default? I don’t use iOS but I’ve been wondering how viable it is to recommend it to friends who do as a replacement for the Youtube app.
Pay for premium in Argentina, set a VPN to verify, checks out for me. Family plan is so effing cheap.
How? I want to do this but Google never allows me, something always breaks in the payment process
I have a friend who is sharing his Argentine account with me. How he pays I don’t really know. The important bit for me was to VPN to Arg before logging in. Maybe search in YouTube for instructions?
Anyone have anything that works on Apple TV? I have some invidious app or other that basically never works, at all.
Meowmoth I use an app called Orion, which is a browser, you can add extensions from Firefox and chrome.
And they don’t work. I tried uBlock on my IPad Air 2 and no add blocked. PopUpBlocker Strict was also important for me, but also doesn’t work. DarkReader seemed to work.
I created a NextDNS and configured the app, still ads on YouTube in Firefox.
The only two for me that work are Brave and Vivaldi. As I really don’t like what Brave does I’ll stick with Vivaldi.
iOS is such a uncomfortable and greedy ecosystem…
There’s a lot of strange answers here.
AdGuard — adblock&privacy
AdGuard is an ultra-efficient ad blocker for Safari. It will not only remove annoying ads but also secure your privacy with advanced tracking protection. AdGuard for iOS is an open source app, it’s totally transparent and safe to use. The app is free but offers additional paid Premium features for a…
I use Signtunes with uYouPlusExtra, if you’re willing to pay 10-15$ yearly to sideload without a computer. But Apple will allow sideloading SoonTM, so it might become free.
Firefox focus is free and works perfectly
Also perfectly fine, I just prefer the features the uYouPlus app offers. It’s not only ad blocking, but also sponsor blocking, pop out player, background playback, reordering tabs (so I can remove the annoying shorts tab), and a bunch more.
m-p{3}I gotta parrot this everywhere but Firefox focus works perfectly
Invidious + Yatte is how I roll.
I can’t say how, but somehow I turned my iPhone XR into a black box that has no ads on Chrome.
Firefox Focus appears to let me play youtube without ads, but I’m unclear if it’s because I also have the Vinegar extension (which shouldn’t matter, since the extension itself says it only works in Safari.)
MiyabiBrave browser. It has an ad blocker built in.
jinarchedI’m curious. Why the downvotes?
Because the owner of Brave is a giant douchehole.
Great browser though and the company’s mission is decent enough, for a for-profit company.
Mr_nutter_butterPiped no ads built in sponsor block and many instances have region bypass
iOS doesn’t give many options to remove ads from YouTube videos. You can’t really circumvent the native YT app (at least in my experience). What’s worked for me for the past few years is:
- watching Youtube in Safari
- purchasing the Wipr and Vinegar extensions from the App store
I have not seen a single ad on iOS on YouTube this way. I’m pretty sure Vinegar is doing the heavy lifting specifically on YouTube but Wipr picks up the slack on every other website.
Brave works for me on Ipad.
mingistechThere are a handful of options if you’re looking for a tweaked version of the YouTube app (no jailbreak needed) with enhanced options (blocking ads, skipping sponsored segments, allowing downloads, enabling PiP)
I personally use YouTube Reborn Plus github.com/arichorn/YouTubeRebornPlus
As for loading the IPA onto my iPhone I use Sideloadly. sideloadly.io
I know a lot of others use AltStore. altstore.io
Keep in mind, if you have a paid Apple Dev account like myself you only have to load the app on your device once a year. But, if you have a free account you’ll need to do this weekly. That being said, that is why so many users prefer AltStore, it automates the process to ensure you don’t hit that weekly threshold.
