>That option isn't particularly challenging or hard or immoral or objectionable in any way: if it's on the play store, it's sanctioned by Google. You seem to be missing something here. Alternative YouTube viewing clients are NOT on the Google Play store, and Google hates them. You have to install them from APKs or alternative stores. For my Android TV, I had to install SmartTube from an APK using a separate "downloader" app that I had to point to the project's Gitlab/hub page. Not too hard for an IT person, but I wouldn't expect a non-technical person to do this. Installing uBO on Firefox/Chrome is vastly easier. >I don't know of any that exist that work for TVs (not just "the youtube Android app"). Do you? No, just like I don't know any non-Google YouTube viewer apps available on the Play store.
