It has sponsorblock too. This is the simplest solution.

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.

Install Vinegar: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303229

Pulls the actual video file from YT, stripping ads, overlays, and anything else YT shoves into them. Literally a game changer on Apple devices.

On iOS

Look for altstore or similar

Brave removes ads.

But also… it’s Brave which I’m learning is not the most ethical choice.

Why not Firefox with uBlock Origin?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefox on iOS is reskinned safari. Normal Firefox extensions don’t work.

As someone very uninformed about Brave, what is unethical about it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

*And if you’re okay with having a Google account, because you need one in the app, but not on the website

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, only real way to feed you stuff you’d like is to monitor stuff you like.

use sideloadly https://sideloadly.io/ and download the ipa from here: https://github.com/arichorn/uYouPlusExtra once you set it up all you need is to literally open sideloadly once a week on your pc/mac and hit refresh while the iphone/ipad is connected to the same wifi. apple doesnt let you add apps for longer than week unless you pay to be a developer so a 30second job to refresh the app and ur done.

I use Yattee. It should be on the app store. Requires a bit of setup, but works great.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

pin any invidious instance as a webapp in home

some instances allow to register and follow channels

Sideload or jailbreak depending on device

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can use Windows or Linux too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Other than jailbreak I don't really know I haven't use IOS in years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use Safari on IPadOS with many Plug ins Sponsorblock and AdBlock

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.
