Brave and YouTube.

Is anyone else having issues with videos not being able to play and playlists not working correctly on YouTube in the brave browser?

AD FREE YOUTUBE if you set your VPN to Albania

I discovered a couple months ago that setting my VPN (ExpressVPN) to Albania blocks all YouTube Ads and i no longer need to pay for premium. Hope this works and helps someone else.

Any Adblocks planning to addressing this 1 yr old issue where YT is slowing down people with adblockers?

Any Adblocks planning to addressing this 1 yr old issue where YT is slowing down people with adblockers?

I tried asking the uBlock Subreddit but the folks there wont allow me to make a post and refer to the pinned post which I did follow the instructions and issue still persist. Wanting to know if any adblockers planning to addressing this issue or if anyone knows a workaround? im using uBlock Origin Lite.

[Tool] SmartTube — open source native YouTube client for iPhone/iPad/Mac, blocks all ads at the app level (no extension needed)

Hey r/Adblock,

Sharing an open source project I've been building: SmartTube for iOS/macOS — a native

Swift YouTube client that blocks ads at the app level, not through a browser extension.

Why this exists: uBlock Origin can't run on iPhone. The official YouTube app can't be

patched without a jailbreak. This solves both problems natively.

How it works:

- Uses the InnerTube API directly, bypassing the ad-injected web player entirely

- SponsorBlock API integrated — auto-skips sponsors, intros, self-promos, interaction reminders

- DeArrow community titles and thumbnails

- Google OAuth sign-in — real subscriptions, history, playlists

- Zero tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs

- Up to 8K playback, Picture-in-Picture

- iPhone, iPad, and Mac — native Swift 6, fully auditable source

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-tube-bdp/id6761388918

Happy to answer questions about the ad-blocking implementation specifically.
