@[email protected] This was in Firefox on my desktop machine. ~~I don't have iOS but under Android I installed ReVananced works great! https://revanced.net/youtube-revanced (it also needs microG: https://revanced.net/microg)~~
EDIT: https://revanced.app/ is the only official site.
Yes, I use that on my Android tablet.
I can still use PocketTube to generate a group playlist, then tell it to open that list in Revanced and it works even better with the included SponsorBlock etc.
So I have a option on both platforms that starts with PocketTube as a playlist launcher, with the iOS side restricted to only adblocking. Which is fine for me, because I rarely watch vids on my phone.
And the only place I’m logged in anywhere is in PocketTube.
edit: although I got Revanced from revanced.app… not sure if there’s a difference
hmmm… looks like I did the DIY method with revanced.app using an older YT version, and revanced.net is an updated oob package. Maybe I’ll update.
edit2: correction: I’m logged into my account on a different web browser entirely, in case I want to subscribe to a channel or whatever
No don't! revanced.app is the only official site
Thank you! Was still debating it, do you know what’s up with that other site?
Don't know maybe they modify the app with malware. Better avoid

For completeness. Here are all the fake sites.
