YouTube is fucking unusable on mobile. I couldn't even tell what website I was on and why I had TikTok ads in my face that autoplayed. Closed them and the content I wanted to view was gone and there was a video of a little dog instead. FUCK off
firefox with ublock origin if you are on android. or any desktop os for that matter.
bonus: sponsorblock to skip sponsor segments and background video play fix to play videos in the background/with the screen off
I mainly use Revanced, but when an update breaks something this is the way to go. Whenever I accidentally open the official youtube app I feel like I stepped on a dog turd
Install newpipe
Does that automatically play YouTube videos when opened or something, or what would it do in this situation of being linked to YouTube content?
Yes. You can make it the default YouTube player on android, so you click a YouTube link and it opens in the newpipe app.
Thanks. I have newpipe installed, which setting would enable newpipe to open instead of YouTube?
Something like Settings > apps> default apps > opening links > newpipe Then select the urls you want to open in newpipe. Also select the YouTube app and don't allow it to open links
Got it, thanks!
NewPipe.
