I currently use brave on iOS to block YouTube ads. Is there any other option right now? I’d be willing to switch.

The best solution on iOS is Yattee. You can add Piped or Invidious instances as locations and stream ad-free YouTube from there. Another solution that doesn't involve Piped and Invidious is AdGuard. Open a YouTube link in Safari, hit actions, then hit Block YouTube Ads (by AdGuard).

Hey, thanks for the link/suggestion for Yattee! Never knew something like this existed for iOS.

If you don’t mind sideloading and refreshing the app from your PC every 7 days, I recommend (and use) uYou+ as a sideloaded app. It has PiP capabilities w/o needing premium, along with a built-in video downloader, sponsorblock, and adblock.

Firefox + ublock origin.
I just clicked through a few long youtube videos without hitting any ads.

edit: my apologies, I missed your iOS problem.

They said iOS. There's no extension support in iOS Firefox.
