But you can install Adblock extensions (but only in Safari)!
The best by far is Adguard.

Do you use the paid version of Adguard?
For me on iOS it's almost as good as uBO on Firefox.
No blank spaces where ads go, support for every filterlist I want, especially nice for blocking cookie notices.
Okay, this was harder than anticipated. Maybe someone can find an easier solution:
Go to the video you want to download, open the DevTools in your browser (F12 in Firefox), go to Network (you might need to reload the page), play the video. In the search bar under Network type in .m3u8. You'll get a file likely named master.m3u8. Right-click on it 'Copy value' than 'Copy url'. Paste this in the following yt-dlp command:
yt-dlp \
--add-header "Referer: https://vidmoly.to/" \
"https://paste-url-here.to/master.m3u8"
This should download the video.
If you want the subtitles, search for .vtt instead (you might need to select the desired subtitles in the player first). You can directly open the subtile file and download it.
I really hope someone can give you an easier solution.
Don't hesitate to ask further questions!
Some background
The the website is not supported and the generic downloader from yt-dlp doesn't work, hence the need for the m3u8 playlist. Their primary video host seems to be vidmoly, which I found that under the Request Headers.
BTW vidmoly as a standalone website is also not supported in yt-dlp with the hilarious reason:
This site looks like it is primarily used for piracy and therefore cannot be supported.
Hey, I just watched that exchange.
I have been binging this show since looking it up when I saw the previous "Dark Trek" Meme.
From my screenshots folder (Psycho-Pass Episode 2).
It varies: Mostly it just removes the html of the banner from website. For some more annoying websites for example YouTube it clicks decline.
You don’t need an extra extension for the cookie notices. Just use uBlock Original for that:
Under Filter lists enable "Cookie notices"
cobalt.tools supports lots of sites (YouTube, Reddit etc.).
It‘s like an anemic version of yt-dlp in the browser.
Yeah, that is the video.
Here is it freed from TikTok.
cobalt.tools supports TikTok downloads among other sites.
This one is open source.
Adguard is an massive contributor in the adblock scene.
Many of their products are free (Adguard Home, DNS, etc.). Even this one has a free version. They want to make money as a company and on iOS you gotta pay the Apple tax.
