Comment on Why I recommend against Brave.

If you want to block youtube ads, I think it is really the only option as of now. Adguard can be downloaded on the app store and it does a mediocre job blocking ads, but the placeholder space for them remains and it straight up fails to block some for me. I am stuck with brave for now until something better comes along.

Safari has Wipr which blocks YouTube ads

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.

  Interesting. I have never paid for an adblock before, but it’s good to know there’s a backup. It seems a bit wild to pay for an adblock when free and open sourced solutions exist I guess…

    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.
