Hopefully the Digital Markets Act in EU will put an end to iOS's browser monopoly. When that happens Firefox might be looking to port their Android browser to iOS which supports addons like uBlock but nothing is for certain right now.

I know it isn't hope you're looking for, but it's the best I can do with my current knowledge.

I appreciate that but my response was more intended to chastise the guy blanket labeling people cultists and idiots for no good reason because they hate a browser someone else uses.

The system-wide AdGuard app handles most things well enough, and Brave does its thing on YouTube ads without issue.

Firefox Focus will also take care of YouTube ads (if anyone else stumbles down this rabbit hole), but it's too heavy-handed for me because I actually stay logged into my account and use my history.

My Pi-hole install also handles all but YouTube if I'm at home, so there's that.
