It a very unfortunate that Google decided to throw their legal weight, but I suppose predictable.

When that day comes, I'll be very tempted to have a crack at modding it myself, if nothing else springs up to replace it.

Same here, but also using private browsing mode only. Plus the YouTube Vanced app (including YouTube Music) to be rid of the ads there.

I try not to use apps where there's a website equivalent, but I also repackaged a couple of them that I like to rid them of the ads, using apktool.

My mobile experience is blissfully ad-free. It's a delight and I would never go back to the default experience.
