On a side note, did anything change on youtube itself or am I being A/B guinea pigged?
I use to be able to watch youtube videos without any youtube app just using /embed/<video-id> on a browser or mpv.
Now it seems every link is broken unless you go through there data hoarding app? (On android not desktop)
- jahnu 6y agoIf I watch through the Brave browser on my phone I never see ads. Through the offical app I have to watch the same two ads for a month or two before the video starts and then again after 15 or 20 minutes. It's really bad.
- DoingIsLearning 6y agoBut that's ad blocking, that's not what I meant exactly, that always works. My issue is 'embeddable' links are no longer playable for me? I can play the video in their app or on the browser after a million data consent forms.
- sacomo 6y agoAlso, no ads on YT, or just about any other site, in FF with the uBlock origin plugin.
- Sander_Marechal 6y agoGive NewPipe a try (https://newpipe.net/ https://newpipe.net/). I've been using it for several months and works really well. Only thing I haven't figured out yet is streaming/casting to the youtube app on my TV.
