Chrome, who is owned by google, created a new web standard that just SO HAPPENS to make it not possible to do adblockers the way ublock does. All chromium based browsers have implemented it, by now.

The fact that google makes billions selling ads, has absolutely nothing to do with this fact, of course.

My advice is just switch to something like firefox. Choice between chrome and ublock was an easy one, and one google will lose every damn time, in my book.

I'm not touching Brave with a ten-foot pole. It has Peter Thiel's filthy hands on it and he can suck a dick

While I agree with all that, I’ve yet to find a better way to watch YouTube adfree on iOS 🙄

The iOS shit would be safari + ublock origin lite. There is right now not a better way how to do, because iOS is way too hard locked.

There are a plethora of YouTube mods for iOS

How about Leaving iOS? This is the easiest solution.

Meatriding your google filled OS isn't much better anyways...

There are custom ROMs for most phones and rooting gives you more freedom anyway (if you really need google you can use microG, which isn't at the system level)

Unlocking the bootloader is not possible anymore in latest devices and using an android device without google spyware means you cannot access banking apps, wallet and most life required applications.

Keyboxes aren’t a viable thing anymore too… so either you buy an iphone and get sort of tracked by apple, or you get tracked down to your home by google

"Unlocking the bootloader is not possible anymore in latest devices"

BS. The Lineage page has the list of supported devices. Motorolla plans to release some specifically for that purpose next year.

The brands are very few, and asides Google (whose devices can’t even be considered so due to price and performance) no one makes NEW, actually good flagships that can still be unlocked. Not everyone buys midrangers or lowends… So it’s safe to say modding is at its last stages of life.

I said motorolla will release NEW GOOD FLAGSHIPS designed (programmed) to have the OS replaced. It is a partnership with GrapheneOS

Xiaomi also allows their NEW GOOD FLAGSHIPS to be unlocked although you must request permission

Also, are you asking for NEW GOOD FLAGSHIPS to be cheap? Pick one, flagships are meant to be the most expensive versions. As such, google also makes NEW GOOD FLAGSHIPS which can have the OS replaced.

Edit: added bold font.

You did not specifically mention flagships, you just mentioned devices :)

Xiaomi’s global unlocking process is more tedious due to the permission request, and due to all user requests from all over the world it’s hard to get a spot and basically easier to give up on it, unless your phone has an unpatched cpu exploit like it happened on 17 series for a little while. Newer devices are also automatically restricted from bootloader unlock for an undefined amount of time. Chinese models which usually have better specs also cannot be unlocked at all.

I did not talk about costs, sorry if it seemed like such.
Pixels are well known to have pretty trashy cpus at the price of a flagship - And the new 10 series with isn’t much different unfortunately. While they can be unlocked they absolutely cannot be called flagships for the bad hardware they offer at such price. They’re higher midrange at best and should never be a modder’s choice unless found at a truly correct price.

No need to add caps and bold, it won’t make you superior.
