They have plenty customer support if you're a paying customer. Pay for Google One [0] for example and you get Customer Support for all Google services. [0] https://one.google.com/about/support
Have you actually tried Google customer support? I had more success out of staring at a banana for half an hour and waiting for an epiphany than paid GSuite support.

Server-side dynamic ad inclusion is relatively not new tech. I’m surprised they don’t do it already tbh
I would assume Google would prefer to not piss off the millions of adblock using techies (including journalists) if that can be avoided.
In the UK, for TV we have limits on the number and total minutes of ads per hour, youtube needs to look at these.

I'd pay half a cent per video or whatever it works out to be, but I'm not going to pay by letting Google or any other corporations track my every move and action
There is Youtube Premium which is a flat fee: https://www.youtube.com/premium
If you don't want ads get Youtube Premium.
There's some misconceptions being put forth in the article which I, as a developer of a Safari ad blocker, would like to address. Content blockers are limited by design to ensure privacy and speed, but they may work together with other kinds of Safari extension. So, when AdGuard guys say that the only debugging tool you can use is Console, know that this isn’t true. There’s SFSafariExtensionHandler API which you can…
>The number of rules limit is a non-issue The big controversy some time back when Chrome wanted to implement a limit just like this with Manifest v3 says otherwise. This was both from users and adblock developers and it is exactly as bad as people said it would be. Saying it is a good idea because of privacy risks is completely off the rails. Sure you might run a tiny risk but without a proper adblocker like uBlock y…
Having a third party monitor and inject code into every page I visit on the internet or intranet means you are trusting the browser extension as much as you are trusting the browser manufacturer themselves.
The popularity of content blocking means the evaluation of lists of hundreds of thousands of rules on every page request becomes a significant source of slower page load speed. It is not surprising that the browser makers would try to add highly optimized, native code to execute these lists.

There's Cydia: https://cydia-app.com/ And if you have a Mac, you can build and install apps on your own device with Xcode. No Apple developer paid account required. AltStore does something similar by signing IPA files with your personal key: https://altstore.io/ .
The site you linked to (hxxps://cydia-app.com/) is unofficial, links to piracy and spyware sites, and should not be trusted. The official Cydia site is https://cydia.saurik.com/ but it doesn't include much information about Cydia and jailbreaks. To find out what jailbreaks are available for your device, check the r/Jailbreak wiki. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/wiki/ios/canijailbreak )

> I am not sure what you mean here. This API (available only on macOS) does allow injecting scripts and stylesheets, it does not provide any feasible debugging tools. Granted, you may inject a script that will get some information about what's blocked, but it's far from what's required. SFSafariExtensionHandler implements SFSafariExtensionHandling protocol, which has this function: optional func contentBlocker(withId…
> SFSafariExtensionHandler implements SFSafariExtensionHandling protocol, which has this function First of all, shame on me for missing this, and thank you for pointing this out. Unfortunately, this still does not solve the issue in question - we cannot figure out which rule was triggered. But it is definitely better than nothing, at least knowing what's blocked we can try creating something resembling a debugging to…
Yes, such a tool should exist - but I am not surprised it isn't in the API, since the input list has been compiled down at that point.

Unpopular opinion: you can subscribe to YouTube Premium to stop ads on YT on all your devices
Popular opinion: Youtube premium is laughably overpriced (in the UK anyway) due to bundling with the totally unrelated youtube music service. The premium cost of 11.99 GBP per month gets you: * No ads. * Additional music service I don't want. * No additional made-for-youtube video content that I'm aware of. * The app removes one user-hostile non-feature: it no longer refuses to play audio while in the background (iOS…
I just switched from Android and I love iOS (iPhone 12 mini). But man do I miss Firefox (the real one, not the Safari skin) and man do I miss f-droid (specifically gems like GadgetBridge). If only I could have those 2 things.
I am keeping an old android device around just for using NewPipe.
