Do you not use uBlock Origin and other types of adblockers?
uBlock Origin is so easy to install and set up, I do not understand why someone would still subject themselves to ads. I dread the day when Chrome's manifest V3 prevents uBO from working, but until then it solves all problems with ads, including YouTube.
Ad-blocker-blockers are becoming a lot more common. We need ad-blocker-blocker-blocker tech now.
We already have that, uBlock Origin has filters for precisely that.
Doesn't work on my iPhone, that's why.
AdGuard and similar local VPN based ones do, I use it on my Android along with uBlock Origin on the browser for example. It blocks all ads in all apps.
It blocks ads on Firefox
FF is WebKit on iOS. Has the same blocking mechanisms available as any other browser on iOS — that is to say, not great.
Wipr as an alternative seems to be ok.
Got a screenshot of uBlock Origin running on an iPhone?
Time to switch to Firefox then.
Yes. Unless you count Privacy Badger.
Why not? But you also complain about ads despite knowing the solution and not using them?
There are multiple solutions. One of them is to never visit that site again. I am indeed employing that solution.
I'm sorry if my exclamation appeared to be a complaint. It was intended as an exclamation of amazement.
You clearly weren't adhering to exclamatory tone etiquette ;)
Brave Browser + Pihole ensured I didn't see any. I'd recommend setting those up if you are annoyed by intrusive and abusive ads.
