Ah yes, our shitty Big Tech corporations teaming up with the shitty Chinese Big Tech corporations, I don't see there any issues at all.

A wise decision.

Fuck Spez

YouTube can go screw themselves, use Invidious or Piped to access YouTube. You can also combine this with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to Invidious or Piped. There are amazing mobile clients like LibreTube or NewPipe for Android and Yattee with this guide for iOS. All of these don't have ads or trackers.

Mull for Android is actually the closest thing to LibreWolf that you can get on mobile, I highly recommend it.

You should stop using Google services anyway. They are terrible for privacy and for your digital freedom in general. And there are so many alternatives.

I love GrapheneOS and they tried everything to make Chromium less shitty, but Vanadium still lacks fingerprinting protection as well as support for ad blocking. That's why I use Mull, a hardened fork of Firefox, for everything except banking.

+1 for LibreWolf

Well, better late than never.

These are all better ways to access YouTube, they don't host any videos themselves. If you want a YouTube alternative, check out PeerTube

That is not their official website btw. The maintainer of uBO has stated that he doesn't want a website

He doesn't want a forum or a website, thus he won't have any costs and he won't have to accept donations meaning he doesn't have to deal with the administrative workload and that way he has more time to develop uBlock Origin.

Obviously it's intentional, it's Google, what do you expect from this piece of shit Big Tech corporation? Don't be evil has already belonged to the past for a long time.

NewPipe is an Android app that allows you to watch YouTube videos without ads or tracking. It exposes your IP to Google servers though. Piped consists of a web client and a backend server, it uses the NewPipeExtractor on the server to load the video as well as all the metadata from Google servers and then serves it to you through the web client. That way, you don't have to connect to Google, only the Piped server communicates with YouTube servers.

Yes, I use it on Hyprland and it works perfectly.

Just use Invidious with LibRedirect. If everyone spoofs their user-agent to Firefox, Google will say 'No one uses Firefox'

I use Piped or Invidious most of the time, the keybindings work there. They seem to be broken on the official YouTube website though.

Use Invidious or Piped in combination with LibRedirect in order to automatically redirect all YouTube links to Invidious or Piped.

That's why we need to switch away from this proprietary garbage and use Firefox or LibreWolf (Firefox on steroids with less bloat, improved privacy and even pre-installed uBlock Origin)

I use spacebar for play/pause and the arrow keys for +5 and -5 seconds. It's not perfect, but I haven't found a better solution yet.
