I am a dumdum… ages ago I got Firefox on my phone and tried to sort this out but adblockers don’t seem to work or be allowed on iPhone. I know that there are extensions for Safari but would those be detected and get my access blocked?
I’ve been trying to remember to use Brave for YouTube but I am definitely getting targeted ads from general browsing
:( Thankfully I mostly forget to. Someone on the other place said that it doesn’t work anymore anyway. Not sure if that’s with adblockers or if the inbuilt stuff is getting detected.
There are Safari extensions but those would probably get detected.
I hate this. I’d accept a reasonable amount of ads but they’ve been dialed up for pester power, ads enlarged for misclicks, and when that hasn’t been lucrative enough it’s now strongarm tactics.
The internet is going to shit and avoiding/mitigating that is increasingly requiring tech skills I struggle to keep up with
Got ublock origin? Go to the dashboard (click the shield, then the cogs) and under MY FILTERS enter the following:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

DO NOT USE BRAVE I’m not even kidding that thing is absolute bad news. Like win11 levels of fuckery and tracking
Fucking marketing.
