I recently upgraded my phone.

The time is not exactly synced to my computer. There's a two minute difference, and this bothers me.

But on to the problem I hopefully can solve: is there an adblocker that works on iphones for youtube in the app? And how do I enable it?

It's not quite a proper adblock, but at least for YouTube, there's things like Newpipe that gets you all the video and audio goodness without the ads. Adblocking for the mobile browsers on Android is more difficult for some since installing extensions is much harder, but some of them theoretically have adblock built into them.

Thanks. It's not that I object to the ads in principle - at least they're short! - but I seem to be getting a lot of political ones lately and, infuriatingly, they're all MAGA-style.

Aigh. I'm sure some of that is who is buying ad space, but I think this might be one of those situations where the algorithm, in its quest to get you to engage with the ads, is reminding us that "engagement" can mean both like and hate.
