Try Brave browser. It work

Shame about the crypto bs and homophobia though.

Homophobia? I missed that. What happened?

Brendan Eich founded Brave after being booted from Mozilla over his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Browsers be homophobic now? Wild times

Not the browser itself, but the CEO of the company that develops it. (He used to work at Mozilla, but had to resign because of his homophobic actions) https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/mozilla-ceo-eich-resigns-after-controversy/

Yea I know, it was a joke

Yup. Brave works great on iPhone, too. PiP, no ads, even downloads work fine. And thanks to Airdrop I can watch ad free on TV.

Until yesterday I had a cheap Premium subscription going on but YouTube cancelled it because they found out I don’t live in Asia. Like fuck, it’s not about the money. 5? Maybe 6 or 7? That would have been fine by me. But 20 fucking bucks a month for that? Yeah, nah. Either fix your prices or I will continue to look for workarounds.

Yattee with this guide is another good option for iOS, iPadOS and tvOS (you could also use it on macOS, but I prefer FreeTube or just using Piped or Invidious in the browser). It's also fully open source: https://github.com/yattee/yattee

Nice! Thank you very much!

I am already tinkering with my options and I will certainly try this out as soon as I make it home.
