It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

[–] Pontishmonti@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

This is the way.

She wouldn't, that's why she bought an iPhone, because "it just works!".

[–] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So then it really shouldn't be too shocking for the person I replied to.
