On android use a firefox fork with ublock I’m sure there is an equvalent on ios as well. It’s much easier than playing whack-a-mole with an app.

Does the ublock addon also do the cat and mouse game with Google when google patches ad blocking with ublock?

I have yet to have an issue like that. I’ve been watching YouTube through ironFox with ubo for over a year with no issue I disabled the mobile yt app

I haven’t tried yet so i am asking. I currently only use brave because I know they patch whatever google does to evade adblock

Brave shields are a fork of ubo… Ubo in my experience has stayed consistently on top of it. Never gotten an ad blocker notice

As of recently the offical block list doesn’t because they gave up but there are many others maintained by folks that still do.
