I know i can use adblock in safari but the problem is with safari you can only watch 720p
Not a standalone app but try piped
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.

Pulls the actual video file from YT, stripping ads, overlays, and anything else YT shoves into them. Literally a game changer on Apple devices.
Try sideloading uYou+
on iOS?
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?
Firefox on iOS is reskinned safari. Normal Firefox extensions don’t work.

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.
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
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.
Drive-by thanks for this, though I did kill some time getting it to work. Any fav IPAs?
no worries. i use infuse (suffuse on github) and then this repo has alot of ipas https://github.com/swaggyP36000/TrollStore-IPAs the retroarch or delta game emulator dolphini is a dolphin emulator apollo reddit sideloaded being brought back fromt eh dead for reddit https://balackburn.github.io/Apollo/ but i always have suffuse youtube apollo and i rotate in and out the myfitnesspal app thats cracked. take a look at the trollstore ipe link it has alot. also the sideloaded subreddit has many
Delta is an impressive Game Emulator not normally allowed in the App Store and Enmity is a nice Discord client modification
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.
I use Yattee. It should be on the app store. Requires a bit of setup, but works great.
Sideload or jailbreak depending on device
pin any invidious instance as a webapp in home
some instances allow to register and follow channels
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
Other than jailbreak I don’t really know I haven’t use IOS in years
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.
I use Safari on IPadOS with many Plug ins Sponsorblock and AdBlock
