youtube on modern phones sucks
Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription.
The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.
This was better on some "feature phones" without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

Several words: mobile Firefox, ad block, disable youtube app, disable known links to youtube.
Several more words:
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!
We didn't start the fire!
Thank you.
It's always so refreshing to see someone do the thing you were expecting would happen!
I'm wondering how to get "shiny teeth and me" into a comment somewhere...
And what would be the benefit over Revanced?
Nothing,
Ithis person I know of just had FF and adblock set up already for other reasons, so allIthey had to do was stop the youtube app hijacking its own links.No sponsor block in ff though?
Works fine for me.
It works with the addon enabled, just like desktop firefox. But right now it's a bitch to manually install addons on the android version, so it's a lot of work. I just use newpipe-sponserblock. Or also LibreTube is also nice while also having sponserblock built in.
TIL I'll have to check on those other clients too, thanks p
how do you install addons on firefox android? I use iceraven now.
To install desktop add-ons you need to use nightly and create an add-on collection to sync. But sponsor block might have a mobile version that you can install from the settings section of the normal app.
No need for side loading apps. So works on all phones. Phones that are remotely admin have this feature off.
Firefox can't load plugins on iPhones anyway. If you're on Android, and it's a personal device, ReVanced is a better experience.
