I’ve been using Firefox Focus to block ads, including YouTube video ads, for almost a decade on iOS lawl

    Weird. I think the last time I tried was circa 2020 iPhone xr and yes, I always use Firefox focus if available. Don't recall it blocking YouTube ads ornahving addon capabilities.

    Androids always been more flexible.

    Android is MUCH more flexible, hella agree hahaha. I started with the first Android device, the Dream, and installed uhhhh… Cyanogen? Or that’s the PSP… I forgor @w@

    But I did CFW with my Android devices and looooved it. I switched to iPhone after my partner got an iPhone when they couldn’t get an Android phone with a keyboard. Loved it. Big complaint: no adblocker on the 4s. Keyboard was good though!

    Focus came out I thiiiink during the iPhone 8? Maybe before, but I’ve been using it for very long. I’ve never had a YouTube account and would never use it if I had to see ads—I vehemently hate ads. But I’ve been seeing vids for the better part of a decade now! If ad blocking stops working, I’ll 100% never visit again. It’s completely untenable.
