I know i can use adblock in safari but the problem is with safari you can only watch 720p
It has sponsorblock too. This is the simplest solution.
Add https://r.yattee.stream/manifest-invidious-piped.json to your locations manifest.
This is the way! I’m using it too with a piped instance. Also configured the RSS feed to a Slack channel with yattee://watch?v={videoId} which works awesome. When I press the link, when a new video is posted, it opens in Yattee. Basically I have a privacy focused YouTube with no ads and with subscriptions.
This is what I very much tried. Is the best option out there, but unfortunately the “discover” of new content is really lacking compared to YouTube’s algorithm.
Yep, only real way to feed you stuff you’d like is to monitor stuff you like.
Vinegar is a safari extension that gives you premium’s features. I’m almost certain it can do at least 1080 if not higher.

vinegar is a great option for safari. for a YouTube app experience uyou+ and side loading is the way to go.
Been using VideoLite a lot, there’s a single ad that plays as you open it, and then you’re set. Optionally you can pay £1.59 every three months and skip that initial ad.
pin any invidious instance as a webapp in home
some instances allow to register and follow channels
If you’re willing to go through the pain of sideloading on iOS and you’re ok with giving a random app your Google account, uYou+ is pretty good.
*And if you’re okay with having a Google account, because you need one in the app, but not on the website
Try sideloading uYou+
on iOS?

Newpipe x sponsorBlock
Ditch iOS if you want more control over your phone.
I was actually highlighting all the popular options for ad free YouTube on Android.
I know.
You can pay for the adfree service and use the normal YouTube app.
No.
Youtube: Pay me to have an AD free experience. User: Ok Youtube: But I’ll still collect data and sell it to have profit. User: WHAT A DEAL!
Son doesn’t have to see ads while watching his cartoons. Worth.
You mean YouTube Premium?
I know this is /c/piracy but I feel YT Premium has its benefits. You get the music service as well. Spotify is better, yes, but YT Music is good enough and the family can have an ad free YouTube experience. My 5 y/o can watch cartoons without getting ads in his face.
It’s $18 on iOS. My partner pretty much only uses YT and still can’t justify paying that much for it.
Walk the plank
No
There are ways to sideload apps on iOS but I think you need a Macbook to do so, I had a iPhone once because I got it for free and I will never touch one of those ever again!
You can use Windows or Linux too
Interesting, seems like there is a Linux app now too, well still not a fan of externak devices just to sideload but luckily the EU will improve that with the Digital markets act I guess
Brave removes ads.
But also… it’s Brave which I’m learning is not the most ethical choice.
As someone very uninformed about Brave, what is unethical about it?
Their weird crypto rewards system is what turns me off the most.
Pretty easy to ignore it. I use it off and on.
Why not Firefox with uBlock Origin?
Firefox on iOS is reskinned safari. Normal Firefox extensions don’t work.

Weird firefox automatically redirected me to the non amp link
Firefox with uBlock Origin - works and always has been working on every device that allows you to install 3rd party browsers.
iOS browsers use safari as the backend.
Normal Firefox extensions don’t work.
Huh, well that sucks.
Not on iOS unfortunately
I use Yattee. It should be on the app store. Requires a bit of setup, but works great.
Sideload or jailbreak depending on device
