Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

It sounds interesting, but... Android only? I don't actually watch much video on my phone. It's mostly on my desktop browser.

Not optimal, but using Waydroid on Linux, Android apps feel almost like they run natively (no need to start a emulator manually).

There are no ad blocking YouTube apps on iOS so I suspect Apple blocks them. The DMA will soon let us in the EU install whatever we like, but fuck Apple.

There is uYou+ but its not on the appstore so its pretty much impossible to install

You can side load it with AltStore or SideStore, it’s pretty straightforward

Maybe with windows. On linux i spent a solid few hours on it before giving up.

You can use an Invidious instance or Piped to watch YouTube ad-free, and with SponsorBlock builtin for the later.

Publishing on iOS creates a whole plethora of hurdles because everything you install has to first be approved by Apple. This is an Apple problem. The founder of the company has said he doesn't like developing for iOS for this reason.
