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.

            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

            Fair point. I respect your arguments. What are the actual benefits of using Brave in this scenario?
