They did it! They passed the turing test!

I didn't know Firefox didn't have extensions on iOS. I would have called it Firefox android instead of mobile. I'm glad there's still ways for iOS users to do this.

Adguard is in the category of questionable firewalls. I used it for a while and it was just too kludgey for me when there's not many apps with ads that I use anymore. Android has free software for pretty much everything at this point.

I did use that for a while. Google was always finding ways to break it. I don't use youtube on my phone often and when I had newpipe 9/10 times it was broken when I wanted to use it, so it didn't make it onto my next phone.

I don't get how Flipboard is even a product when opening any browser gives you a wall of aggregated news stories unless you explicitly set it not to. Any website dedicated to that in 2023 is like a factory that just sucks in air and blows it out the other side.

 

Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don't really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.
