Every one I have tried is shit. Like, they correct my main problems with the Apple keyboard, but simultaneously introduce an equal number of just as bad problems. Looking at you, SwiftKey, Typewise, and Typocity or whatever.

Yeah they're somehow all complete fucking garbage. I don't understand how there isn't a single keyboard for iOS that isn't shit, you'd think there'd be a market for that.

SwiftKey seems to be the least shit. It's still shit, but it's not as shit as all the other options – at least for someone who uses 2 languages daily. At least it has autocomplete for both English Finnish; fucking iOS still doesn't have autocomplete for Finnish.

And to the inevitable "switch to Android" replies: iOS is also shit, but it's less shit than Android

Never seen YouTube revanced or actual adblockers for iOS though. I'm not willing to take part in the whole ad game. It's a pity really, because for music iOS devices are simply better.

I use Firefox and not Safari so I really can't comment on the ad blocker situation for Safari, but I thought there's a few available? I know that we're all supposed to hate ABP because by default it allows "acceptable ads", but it at least seems to be available – although I obviously can't vouch for how well it works.

Afaik every iOS browser is just a re-skin of Safari. I have yet to find an acceptable ad blocker or scripting extension. Plus iOS is super clunky. Don't like it one bit. Have to use it on my work phone and I'm just so much happier with Android.

My point was just that since I don't use iOS Safari, I don't know about its ad blocker situation

[–] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

And what I meant to say, is that you think you're using Firefox, when in reality you're using Safari with a Firefox skin. Not judging you or anything, just letting you know that iOS is very limiting.

It gets a lot of rage, but Brave browser excels at blocking YouTube ads. I never see them. And yes, there are numerous adblock extensions for safari. I recommend choosing one and buying the full version.

Just to switch to Android. Sorry, it's been too long.
