    While YT is playing its games, I’ve found a half-dozen other ways to get at the videos. Very educational. I’m thinking they are learning a whole bunch about what people think of their way-too-aggressive approach … and how people usually respond to that behavior.

          How does it work as I just copied five links from piped and five from YouTube directly into Yattee and got Failed Loading video - Operation stopped every time.

        I’m not on IOS, but I’ve heard Brave browser on IOS has adblock so that might be a way to avoid ads. Sites like various Invidious instances run in any browser would also be a way to dodge ads.

        Any browser that accepts plugins would also work, but I’m not sure if they exsist or not.

        Sure, throw it away and get something with access to 3rd party apps. Alternatively, wait a couple of years for the EU regulations regarding 3rd party apps to take effect on apple products.

          I can’t really afford to throw away a £1000 device that still have some time left on its contract.

          I guess my next phone can be a pixel with graphene OS.
