    Is there a good way to watch YouTube on iPads ?

    On PC and Android my preferred way is Firefox+uBlock (NewPipe sometimes and Smart Tube every day !)

    We got an iPad recently and I found out the hard way that Firefox doesn’t support add-ons :(

      Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple’s shenanigans. It’s a collection of patches over the official YouTube app

        It’s a shame… iPad seems like a very practical device for web browsing and media consumption. But browsing the web in 2024 without an Ad Blocker, tracker blocker, cookie banner auto reject all, is just impossible, at least for me 😅

          I think the new EU regulations are forcing Apple to open this and allow to have real different browsers on iOS devices. But not sure if that is the case in the ios 18 or it will only be comming.

            This is good. But I suppose that will also require some time and effort from Mozilla to port the real Firefox to iOS.
