    On android use a firefox fork with ublock I’m sure there is an equvalent on ios as well. It’s much easier than playing whack-a-mole with an app.

          My pleasure.

          It can be finicky sometimes playing videos but a long press of the play button would give you the option to reload the player.

      pipepipe is fine. Install direct from github. It alerts you when theres an update.

          It’s an Apple app so be thankful it’s not $29.99. I’m not endorsing the price and haven’t even had an iPhone in years but it did work well, even on such a locked down platform
