Universal Best YouTube third party app on App Store?

If any.

The website (with Vinegar, of course, to make it bearable).

I use the website with Wipr to take out the ads. I prefer the native player for chapter support and transcriptions.

Thank you. Not sure why people pay for premium then.

I use the Brave browser to view it without ads.

My DuckDuckGo browser includes a EweTube viewer, that eliminates all ads except the embedded ones. It works well mostly, but if I want to read/add comments, follow a link, or copy a recipe, there’s a button marked “Watch in EweTube” that allows me to do that; it works for me.
I normally go to EweTube first thing in the morning, watch any “Shorts” I may be interested in (which so far don’t include ads) and then the daily channels I watch which are not monetized (a surprising amount of them, and I always give them a Like to keep them in the Al Gore Rhythm. Once I hit a video with a commercial that just breaks right in the middle of a video/sentence, I immediately quit YT*. Then I open DuckDuck Viewer and continue any posts I hadn’t hit yet.

*If all of us would do this (quit YT as soon as an interrupting commercial started), those interrupting commercials would be taken down by the end of the week. Just sayin’.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using website over an app ?

Brave browser

Brave browser

Is it really different though then Safari ? I thought all browsers were the same on iOS.

Try for yourself-
View 30 minutes or an hour of videos with Safari and then do the same with Brave and report back. 🙂

Safari. With 1Blocker and SponsorBlock.

„But what about listening in the background?“
Simple.
Video in Full-Screen, put Safari in background and activate videoplay from the Control Center.

I don‘t need a YouTube app. It just forces me to sign up and watch ads.

Yes, as it has built-in ad blocking. Works great with YouTube. I use it on my iPad & desktop.
