Although the price of YouTube Premium is not expensive, for students or people with a tight budget, paying more than 100 yuan per month is still a big burden. If this is your current situation and you don’t want to install some unknown apps or plug-ins, then the Brave browser recommended in this article is quite good.

Next is the mobile version. iOS will ask you which search engine you want to default to at the beginning:
After entering the YouTube mobile version ads, unlike the desktop version, there seems to be no way to block ads on the mobile version web pages. I see this on many web pages:
