A free alternative is Firefox Focus browser which adblocks by default. Problem is it nukes each session after you close it, so not very persistent

I just remembered, I think I heard Brave Browser also blocks youtube ads. Will update my original comment.

You can use FF Focus as the adblocker on iOS Safari as well.

It also doesnt allow tabs so its super basic and hardly usable for me

Does it allow multi tabs? I think the name 'Focus' would suggest they still not support multiple tabs opened?
