Is it less buggy now? I tried it a while back and gave up.

Mobile app is awesome though.

What browser are you using?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Not OP but I get the same thing on Firefox with ublock origin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

AdGuard on Mac for safari, unlock origin for anything other than chrome.

Incognito mode works, but you can't see the history

VPN to Europe? Otherwise not sure how the UK was ever "safe" from this.

Use a front-end like Piped or Invidious and be happy.

Negative comments and dislikes incoming in 3, 2, 1...

had the same thing happen today, unlock origin doesn't work anymore. wish they hadn't killed the speedup one bc that compromise works perfect (IMO).

Technically side loading apps should be legal now on iOS in the EU are there any iOS players?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

No. Neither is sideloading allowed by Apple, since you still need to pay the 99€ a year to sign your Apps, nor do such players exist because the people who know how to do such stuff have better things to do than spend 2000€ for a MacBook just so some Apple users can usw YouTube for a week before their Dev license gets suspended

And I hate to be that guy, but if you want to own what you paid for, you maybe shouldn't keep pouring Water in form of your money onto the Oil fire that is Apple.

Oh I just read that and assumed there might be something seeing as iPhones are pretty popular phones. I just bought this phone 2 years ago and I’ll probably keep using it till it breaks or stops getting security updates. I don’t really care about phones or computers and will probably go back to a dumb phone once this one breaks.

The brave browser is a pretty good option on iOS, it has a good Adblock and it has support for background audio (assuming you enable it in the browsers settings)

It is one of the only browsers on iOS that I know of that has support for both, meaning you can use it to listen to YouTube music with no ads and with the screen off.

Brendan Eich personally donated money to the campaign which successfully banned same-sex marriage in California. That alone makes him and anything that potentially earns him money off limits for me. Thankfully he's no longer at Mozilla
