I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.

@[email protected] This was in Firefox on my desktop machine. ~~I don't have iOS but under Android I installed ReVananced works great! https://revanced.net/youtube-revanced (it also needs microG: https://revanced.net/microg)~~

EDIT: https://revanced.app/ is the only official site.

Yes, I use that on my Android tablet.

I can still use PocketTube to generate a group playlist, then tell it to open that list in Revanced and it works even better with the included SponsorBlock etc.

So I have a option on both platforms that starts with PocketTube as a playlist launcher, with the iOS side restricted to only adblocking. Which is fine for me, because I rarely watch vids on my phone.

And the only place I’m logged in anywhere is in PocketTube.

edit: although I got Revanced from revanced.app… not sure if there’s a difference

hmmm… looks like I did the DIY method with revanced.app using an older YT version, and revanced.net is an updated oob package. Maybe I’ll update.

edit2: correction: I’m logged into my account on a different web browser entirely, in case I want to subscribe to a channel or whatever

No don't! revanced.app is the only official site

Thank you! Was still debating it, do you know what’s up with that other site?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know maybe they modify the app with malware. Better avoid
