Brave's aggressive marketing
Brave's aggressive marketing
Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.
Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
You're viewing a single thread.
tbh one only uses the youtube app if they're either ignorant or desperate
I feel attacked.
The only way I use Youtube is when I click on a link from an external source. I don't think it's possible to change the handler to Newpipe in Android unless mistaken.
You can in fact change the handler to NewPipe! Navigate in your settings to wherever your screen is that shows you a list of all your apps. Navigate to YouTube (assuming you have that installed, skip this step if you don't have it installed), and find the "Open by default" option (might be named differently depending on your Android provider), and disallow the option to open supported links. Now go back to your apps list and find whatever NewPipe application you use (I use the Sponsorblock fork for instance), click the "Open by default" option again, make sure it's enabled, then there should be a list of links supported. For the types of links you want supported, make sure they have a check box by it, and you should be good!
Amazing! Just changed, glad I was mistaken
I'm on GrapheneOS (not OEM Android), so I'm not 100% certain, but I think you can. Try this:
- Hold the NewPipe icon until you get the App info icon
- In the app settings, look for Open by default
- Toggle the option Open supported links
- Select all the verified link options
This worked. Thank you! The only extra part is going into YouTube's App info and toggling Open supported links to off, which you have to do before you're able to set NewPipe as the default for those links. Then you're able to follow the directions above and select the 4 verified links that the default YouTube usually uses.
Good to know, thanks. I don't have YouTube installed anywhere so I wouldn't have known that. :)
I'd love to be able to set revanced as default.
I do, clear defaults in about info of youtube app. Now you have a chooser where you can set any app as default uf yiu wanted to
I have the similar problem using LibreTube, but I can copy the URL and paste it into LT's search box and it works.
Or they pay for YT Premium. I watch YouTube in multiple places on various devices. There's no real solution that works very easily for me, particularly with watching it on TV.
I'll agree with that lol. Although I do pay for a YouTube premium, I like YT.music algorithm better than Spotify and not having ads on videos is just a nice bonus. So I do use yt app, as well as newpipe and smarttubenext because yt app is missing some features.
I think the YouTube app is really nice with revanced patches applied. What am I ignorant of?
