YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it::undefined
The only device I use for YouTube is my android phone, because it runs Firefox and ublock origin. For this exact reason.
Google's clever though, they broke full screen video in Firefox in Android 13. Now I have to restart Firefox after putting the first video in full screen, after that the videos still play.
Revanced works flawlessly on android and gives you the native app feeling
I got this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bimilyoncu.sscoderr. * * vanced is that the one?
Edit: vandalized the URL so search engines don't pick it up
I guess not, it's just some ripoff
No, that's a scam. ReVanced will never be in the Play Store, you have to patch it yourself. There's instructions on the ReVanced subreddit and it's easy. And don't download premade versions either
You can use:
Revanced
This patches the official YouTube app with a lot of different options including removing those ads.
NewPipe
This scrapes the website, and is my preferred YouTube app. You cannot log into an account though, which isn't an issue for me. You can also import/export your subscriptions. They are still working on getting comment replies into the app though.
LibreTube
This uses Piped API, and you can choose with instances you want to use. This has comment replies in the app.
Try ReVanced: https://github.com/j-hc/revanced-magisk-module/releases
Have you tried ReVanced? Works great for me.
Do you use an iOS device? I have an app that works very well and is on the app store, no side loading
What's stopping you from posting the name? I have an iPad that I used to use for YouTube in the kitchen but now it's only Netflix and nebula.
There's zero chance that Google / YouTube don't already know about the Vinegar Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
In general, posting publicly about these kinds of workarounds is a bad idea. It'd be great to share them with the world, but the sooner Youtube finds out about them, the sooner they break. Keeping the recommendations to in-person or at least in private channels helps to maintain the obscurity that allows them to exist.
Would love to know the name if you could DM me
Could I ask more about it? My wife is an iOS user.
