How do you watch YouTube on mobile without ads? Do you just watch on mobile browser instead of using YT app? Is there some alternative front end app that includes adblock?

    So for Android there's for example Grayjaj (available on Playstore or https://grayjay.app/ ) or how about Newpipe ( https://newpipe.net/ )

    For IOS I have no Idea but how about firefox with UBlock origin

    I don't use the app and disabled it. I watch via Firefox Mobile which has Ublock Origin. Also I run NextDNS, which I pay $2/month to, to block ads.

    Similar set up on the desktop and laptop, though I also yt-dl a lot.

    I also just, really hate video as a format for 99% of things. I MUCH prefer reading blogs and such. Most of my Youtube watching is concert videos. I love live music, even if its mediocre cell phone footage.

    PipePipe is kind of like an RSS reader for YouTube. It's not going to give you algorithmic suggestions based on your viewing activity, but it will let you follow channels, and it doesn't show the ads.

    Brave blocks it automatically. Easy.

    I don't want to get in a debate about brave.

    I mean it’s the same with any other browsers with ad blockers on mobile platforms.

    Firefox on Android and Orion on IOS both let you use ublock origin.

    No need to use crypto bro ad company browser.

    Brave users are in a cult. I swear to god.
