Hey all! If I understand this right, for YouTube on iOS, Firefox works well since its built-in adblocker handles YouTube?
But, surely there's no difference from using regular Safari with Vinegar or another content blocker, right? I just have that on my homescreen as a bookmark and it's fine. I uninstalled the YouTube app.
What confuses me is Orion, which seems to be the only iOS browser that actually does have third-party extensions, so you can use uBlock, etc. I wonder how long that will last?! Maybe Apple decided there's no point in booting them, since the EU will soon require an end to this Webkit bullshit for all iOS browsers?
It seems it may be because Orion on iOS has web extensions support. Which I think safari also does (partially) but uses a different framework for its on extensions. Check out Kagi’s page on Orion and web extensions.
