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.

    @melroy@kbin.melroy.org This is stupid YouTube… Anyway, if you’re on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. 😉👍

      @vintprox@kbin.melroy.org 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.

        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
