I block YouTube ads on iOS by watching in the browser (with no YouTube app installed) and using AdGuard.

YT in the browser on iOS is torture.

It's fine if you use Vinegar [0]. No ads and you can even lock your phone and keep listening to the videos.

Thanks will check it out

How so? I also use adguard and yt on browser in ios works brilliantly.

Rewinding the video by double tapping left or skipping ahead by double tapping right, enabling subtitles, watching in 2x speed, full screen, toggling back and forth without losing your place in the video.

You get no ads but everything else sucks. I haven’t tried sibling’s suggestion for vinegar though, I’m taking about stock with a dns blocker.
