I was trying to airplay a video to my tv, just like I did for hours last night, and YouTube kept demanding that I login to prove I’m not a bot. So I figured I would make a fake login on Proton. That worked fine, but then it wants to text me for verification and obviously I do not want to give them my number, but it’s rejecting every number I try from the temp number sites.

I am in Safari for iPad in a private window, using vinegar.

      Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼‍♂️

      There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I’m personally fine with allowance for that.

          It’s pretty capable of blocking a lot of YouTube and Google bullshit. You could just use it for that.

          It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn’t that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it’s the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.

        on ios there’s orion browser which is still webkit based but supports firefox extensions like ublock

        unfortunately it’s prolly never going to be foss, the devs said they were working on making it foss 2 years ago and they haven’t done anything
