Some solutions:
Revanced is still a thing
But it requires you to use the proprietary YouTube app that collects and sells all of your data
Yeah that's fair enough. Are there any free as in freedom solutions that allow you to sync progress through videos on multiple devices? If I'm watching some long video over multiple days it's really convenient to easily switch it between all my devices, and have it automatically continue where I left off
Web solutions allow you to have an account and can keep track of those things. There are Android apps like Clipious that connect to the web instsnces so it keeps in sync with what you watch on your browser.
