I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.
@[email protected] This is stupid YouTube… Anyway, if you’re on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. 😉👍
@[email protected] You’re 100% right. We need to move away from it. Eventually maybe PeerTube? Sure, Grayjay is a good combination of all! But I hope content creators also move away from youtube.
On iOS, I’ve discovered that I can uninstall the YT app, set Firefox Focus as my default browser, and then use PocketTube linked to my YT account to open a group playlist, and it plays in FF Focus without ads… so far.
@[email protected] This was in Firefox on my desktop machine.
I don’t have iOS but under Android I installed ReVananced works great! https://revanced.net/youtube-revanced (it also needs microG: https://revanced.net/microg)EDIT: https://revanced.app/ is the only official site.
Yes, I use that on my Android tablet.
I can still use PocketTube to generate a group playlist, then tell it to open that list in Revanced and it works even better with the included SponsorBlock etc.
So I have a option on both platforms that starts with PocketTube as a playlist launcher, with the iOS side restricted to only adblocking. Which is fine for me, because I rarely watch vids on my phone.
And the only place I’m logged in anywhere is in PocketTube.
edit: although I got Revanced from revanced.app… not sure if there’s a difference
hmmm… looks like I did the DIY method with revanced.app using an older YT version, and revanced.net is an updated oob package. Maybe I’ll update.
edit2: correction: I’m logged into my account on a different web browser entirely, in case I want to subscribe to a channel or whatever
No don’t! revanced.app is the only official site
Thank you! Was still debating it, do you know what’s up with that other site?
Don’t know maybe they modify the app with malware. Better avoid

For completeness. Here are all the fake sites.
