It's still possible but that requires a few steps to works.

If you're using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called "Open app".

If you're using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn't provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it's not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.

The best option is to use "Open Link With..." which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It's as simple as sharing the website to "Open Link With..." and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven't tested it so YMMV.

I hope this was useful!

Seems to be from the "No Poop July" trend a few months ago.

It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace "piped.video" with "youtube.com".

Didn't you know that telling a joke more times makes it funnier? smh my head...

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their "mistake". They want to be seen as the victims like they didn't know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something "less worst" is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023

  1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
  2. Don't use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
  3. People are angry... Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
  4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
  5. ????
  6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we're all humans and we can't learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won't happen again... right?

Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you're using Gamepass or "Play anywhere" titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

It's been a hot minute since I've used Windows, but you'd be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don't, you probably should because most apps are now there).

I've seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech's winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge...

Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there's alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) [email protected]
