Holy cow how have I not heard of testflight installation method with which yattee is being distributed! Reading up more on it, seems you need to be an ios developer to use it. Beh.

Thanks for mentioning yatee, as adguard is severely lacking in that ads are rarely blocked.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad since I bought AdGuard premium and configured it properly. It feels less capable than uBlock Origin but I find it honestly good enough on iPhone

You don't need to be a developer for test flight. I am not an iOS developer, but I have installed test flight for access to a few different apps.

it seems Testflight constantly feeds usage data & telemetry back to the app developer

Wow thanks for this. Installed Yattee. Already knew about adguard, but Youtube has managed to beat it on occasion.
