Why limit yourself to just your phone, use a pi-hole and block ads for your whole network.
And when I’m out, I have a vpn running on the phone back to my home network and block ads on 4g/5g as well
It's DNS based ad blocking, isn't it? If so, it doesn't help with all kinds of ads.
YouTube still slips through the net unfortunately.
Yes, because their ads are served on the same server (googlevideo.com iirc) as the actual videos. Blocking that domain would block the videos too.
IOS and Brave browser auto blocks Youtube ads.
Yattee with Invidious is a great alternative.
You can't do better than that on iOS. But the PiHole still goes a long way. It made web browsing from my phone tolerable when combined with the content blockers from Firefox Focus.
Sorry but that is false. Ad block pro on safari and yt ads are no more.
I wish vpn could always be enabled if possible atm.
Also, for ios the only thing that works for me on yt is safari + adblock pro
