Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

But they’re the only ones blocking ads on YouTube for iOS 😞

The only reason I still use it. I like Orion but it’s not quite there yet. Not really sure what other iOS alternatives there are to chose from.

YouTube ads are served on the same server as the video.. So they would have to filter it through one of their servers and block the elements and stream it to you.

So if you're using them for privacy.. you better trust them a lot because they would have equivalent info as google.

You can add something like AltStore to an unjailbroken iPhone and sideload a YouTube app with adblock built in.
