iOS YouTube enhancement tweaks
This cluster consists of jailbreak tweaks and Safari extensions that enhance the official YouTube app on iOS with features like background playback, ad removal, sponsor segment skipping, and video downloads. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only a single dated entry exists before the index start. Among members, ASJTube leads on traction with 26 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
