Any best practices to stream sports on iOS? (lemm.ee)

I'm playing with Buffstreams and Vipleague to get the US Open. That's fine on desktop, where I can use Brave with uBlock to kill all the malware and bullshit.

But on iOS, everything's fucked with popovers, etc. I have 1Blocker, but it doesn't do enough, so I never get to the streams. If I use another browser I'm just going to infect myself.

Why do I care? I want to use my ipad to cast to my apple tv. It's not just for today, I'll watch plenty of other sports. I'm damned if I'm paying $75/mo to Hulu.

What should I actually be doing here? Is there some native app for an apple tv that will frontend sports streams? Maybe there's an ipad app or a different content blocker?

I don't know what I don't know :)

Yep, will do. I just tried that on mobile Safari and it stomped all over 1Blocker and opened like 9 tabs 😂

I just tried using Safari + AdGuard and it worked fine. No popups, ads whatsoever.

The main page works fine. It's the stream links that pop everything up.

I tried watching a soccer game and it worked fine too. shrug

Hi. I just tried the link to watch some cricket as an example on the Orion browser with ublock installed. No popups at all :)

[-] Kribensis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting. Can you share how you installed uBlock on Orion on iOS?

[-] safesyrup@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

Download the orion browser: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/orion-browser-by-kagi/id1484498200?l=en-GB

Go on extensions, add firefox extension, and selext ublock :)

Probably the macOS version. Although uBlock can be installed on the iOS version, but it probably doesn't fully work (the popup doesn't even open).
