YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround (www.tomsguide.com)

No uBlock on my phone. :(

On Firefox on Android you can use extensions. I've been using uBO for years on my phone.

Firefox on Android has it.

But if you're on iOS you'd better speak to Tim Apple about it, assuming he's finished noshing off Trump.

You can have it on iOS as well. Use Orion browser instead of safari and install UBO from the firefox addons store ;)

I just tried this and I get an alert that unlock isn’t fully available. Seems it can’t access web request API.

I’ll give it a spin out of curiosity. I pay for Kagi anyway. I’m very opposed to Google.

It doesn’t work properly… Orion still really falls short. I use Brave on iOS just because of Adblock and paywall bypass.

[–] cooligula@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, well I haven't had problems so far with Orion+UBO!

Even YouTube? The last time I tried (a couple months ago) on both mobile and desktop Orion it’s totally unusable, most of the time it just gets stuck on a black screen for 10-60 seconds where the ads should be.

As much as I hate to say it, if on iOS use Brave. You can disable the crypto shit, but it’s got the best adblocking on iOS, and paywall bypass built in.

[–] obrien_must_suffer@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Never. I hate Brave more than the few ads that get through on iOS with AdGuard or the recently released uBlock Origin Lite.
