For those select few that have an iPhone

You have a few options:

  • be EU citizen and sideload a cracked YouTube (similar to vanced, but you need certificates on iOS which sucks)
  • pay for a dev account and sideload regardless of above
  • buy two apps: vinegar and AdGuard. AdGuard speaks for itself, vinegar is a tool that forces YouTube to use the html 5 player inside of safari and thus forcing it to your will

I know iPhones are hated here, but I saw the android will stop sideloading coming from a mile away. At least here in the eu apple can suck one and I can still sideload whatever I want

Vinegar seems awesome. Thanks! Also, the dev’s other apps are pretty amazing too!
