| Can it block YouTube ads? Would be a killer feature. |

| For that, there's ProTube[1]. On the surface it behaves like YouTube Premium, under the hood it's just the mobile version of YouTube bundled into an iOS app. I have no idea why ads aren't served, I analyzed the network requests with Fiddler Everywhere and saw nothing nefarious.

| Nope. Only Browser that can on iOS is Brave. |
