How do you watch YouTube on mobile without ads? Do you just watch on mobile browser instead of using YT app? Is there some alternative front end app that includes adblock?

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I watch Youtube in my Firefox Android with uBlock Origin, zero ads πŸ‘Œ

[–] Life_inst_bad@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So for Android there's for example Grayjaj (available on Playstore or https://grayjay.app/ ) or how about Newpipe ( https://newpipe.net/ )

For IOS I have no Idea but how about firefox with UBlock origin

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Brave browser on iOS will do it. Orion probably will as well.

Newpipe has been pretty great for me on Android.

+1 for grayjay, works really well for me

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 3 points 1 day ago

I don't use the app and disabled it. I watch via Firefox Mobile which has Ublock Origin. Also I run NextDNS, which I pay $2/month to, to block ads.

Similar set up on the desktop and laptop, though I also yt-dl a lot.

I also just, really hate video as a format for 99% of things. I MUCH prefer reading blogs and such. Most of my Youtube watching is concert videos. I love live music, even if its mediocre cell phone footage.

PipePipe is kind of like an RSS reader for YouTube. It's not going to give you algorithmic suggestions based on your viewing activity, but it will let you follow channels, and it doesn't show the ads.

Also, if you find that it's not working suddenly one day, it probably just needs to be updated.

I've heard Firefox with Ublock Origin and Sponsorblock works well on Android. I've personally had frequent issues with Grayjay. But I haven't tried the above solution yet.

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Brave blocks it automatically. Easy.

I don't want to get in a debate about brave.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean it’s the same with any other browsers with ad blockers on mobile platforms.

Firefox on Android and Orion on IOS both let you use ublock origin.

No need to use crypto bro ad company browser.

Brave users are in a cult. I swear to god.

I'm not, I just really don't care that much.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean you care enough to mention it randomly. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What? No I just know everyone wants to have a big discussion about brave or Firefox. I don't particularly care. Brave blocks it out of the box.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No one was talking about crypto bro ad company brave (or Firefox) till you brought it up randomly.

Then just watch YouTube with ads or pay for premium.

Yes the app is cancer
