If you use a VPN you can simply set your location to Albania and won’t receive any ads on YT, as Google’s ad platform doesn’t support the Albanian language yet.
If you’re cool with Invidious you can use instances via the Yattee app. (Not sure if it’s available in every territory though.)
I have been using Orion Browser (by Kagi) for the last couple of weeks and haven’t seen a single ad on YouTube since.
Same. I use it on desktop too
Look up Vinegar for iOS and install
Been using it for some years now
I use the following with mobile version of YouTube in safari (not desktop version) on iPad 9.
Wiper adblock $1.99 one time payment (no subscription).

SponsorBlock $1.99 one time payment (no subscription).

Safari + AdGuard + PiPifier would probably be a good combo.
Damn that works nice thanks.
Brave Browser + AdGuard is also good at blocking youtube ads.
I haven’t needed adguard with brave browser…yet. Though id probably go the safari way next if that stops working
That’s how I use it as well. Plain old brave browser gets the job done on iOS.
I use a private safari window with Vinegar
I use uYou plus. It has to be installed via Altstore (which means you have to resign it once a week with a computer needed in the same network).
But it has the best features:
- Adblock
- Sponsorblock (automatically skips sponsor segments in videos)
- allows pip playback
- shows estimated dislikes again
This is the cleanest way but does take some work to get going. It also has the benefit of full video quality when web only shows 720p.
Late to the party but try Unwatched: RSS Video Player It’s blocking adds, has pip, no account needed, can disable shorts and so on. It’s basically premium on roids
If you want a standalone app and not a safari workaround, I recommend video lite. Works for twitch too.
