What fresh fuckery is this? 🤦

That's a rhetorical question, in case there's any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

Try Better Open With. Maybe you can set it to open YT links on NewPipe. Or Revanced as another option.

I tried BOW, but it didn't register Lemmy OR NewPipe as existing, so that was a dud.

I then realized that maybe I could set a global rule for all the YouTube addresses to open in NewPipe and I could so I did!

I then clicked the link that originally gave me the OP message. It opened in NewPipe.. And I got the fucking "not available in your country" message in stead!

Assuming Android: Settings -> Apps -> Your YT app -> Set as default -> Enable everything

"not available in your country" is easily fixed, just turn on your vpn
