Blocking YT ads on iPad or iPhone (sopuli.xyz)

For a long time, Brave was the best way to do it, but then Orion started supporting Firefox plugins. Safari had some extensions that also worked for a while. Ad blocking worked perfectly, I had many options, and YT was great again.

Recently, all of that changed when YT or Apple implemented something that makes video playback stop after 1 minute. At the moment, I just have to use a proper computer for watching YT, since mobile devices don’t have functioning ad blocking any more.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? Is is just my devices, or do other people have the same issues?

It does full screen video and blocks ads for me.

I can even get it to pop out the video in Picture in Picture. All on the YouTube page.

Really? That is unexpected. How can there be such vast differences even though we're talking about the same app?
