I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

More like using iOS is not cool. At least in the EU they get some more things, but I was trying the other day to show a workmate how to install an ad blocker and it turns out you can't even install firefox extensions on iOS!

Skill issue

Because outside of the EU all browsers are just safari cosplaying. Inside EU at least Firefox is still just safari

Apparently there's a browser called Orion that support both Firefox and Chrome extensions

On iOS I’ve been using Vinegar - Tube Cleaner by developer And a Dinosaur. It doesn’t replace YouTube as a whole - only the video player. Better interface, no ads.

ytliteplus or uyou is great for ios

Using uYou via AltStore and it’s such a better experience. I’d rather stop using YouTube altogether than pay Alphabet to use YouTube without ads. I’m not enabling user hostile behavior to push people into Premium. Screw that.
