Absolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.

You should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.

I second Freetube. Not a perfect app (think it’s Chromium based), but it gets the job done and they’re pretty good about updating it pretty quickly whenever YT successfully breaks it.

I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.

I believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.

Correct. If they ever roll out ads on premium, I’m not sure what we’ll do. Maybe figure out a new platform or a new way to watch.

Amazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.
