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.

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.

There's zero chance that Google / YouTube don't already know about the Vinegar Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
