I was trying to airplay a video to my tv, just like I did for hours last night, and YouTube kept demanding that I login to prove I’m not a bot. So I figured I would make a fake login on Proton. That worked fine, but then it wants to text me for verification and obviously I do not want to give them my number, but it’s rejecting every number I try from the temp number sites.
I am in Safari for iPad in a private window, using vinegar.

Fair point. I respect your arguments. What are the actual benefits of using Brave in this scenario?
It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn’t that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it’s the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.
Yeah I’m just Apple, and I will not be permitting my TV to ever access the internet on its own. 😕
It’s pretty capable of blocking a lot of YouTube and Google bullshit. You could just use it for that.
