YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

Here's a much simpler approach: use the Brave browser on iOS and use the YouTube website.

It blocks all YouTube ads, allows background playback and picture-in-picture, etc.

You also get all of your regular YouTube features, like recommendations, etc.

I haven't used the official YouTube app since.

Using the Brave browser on iPadOS at least, YouTube will just refuse to served HD content after one video. Enjoy your 4K video downscaled to 360p.

Using Brave to defeat YouTube ads.....ironic.
