My choice: Firefox with uBlock Origin because I get to decide what reaches my screen

Fyi all the removed features of the YouTube app they want you to pay for? Work fine on Firefox

See my other comment. I also noted a lot of the accounts that promote YouTube premium, are less than a week old. So there is suspicion of trolling or astroturfing

4 Ads - uBlock Origin installed on Firefox

And it's leeching into lemmy via obvious astroturfing too. Ah yes an account less than a week old that does nothing but bring up how they pay for YouTube premium mmkay

Oh I think I know what you mean. DDG + Firefox has some weird behavior on YouTube. I can watch the videos but if I wanna properly load the page it gives me a request failure.

It's kind of frustrating on mobile. Have you tried loading through a different search engine? It's not a big issue for me but it's something I experience too as I'm a DDG user

Listen here my dude my brain is still stuck to the time when YouTube allowed you to make a fancy fully customized channel page which was later culled go make way for the bland mobile friendly interface ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

And those are unfortunately 90% dead as compared to 10 years ago.

Back then I could easily find multiple chatrooms for any fandom all incredibly active. Now I'm lucky to find a singular one that isn't dead. Fandoms mostly moved on to the big monolithic sites like reddit where interactions and conversation are incredibly artificial

Firefox with ublock origin plus autoplay while you're in a music playlist says what?

Seriously firefox mobile can play stuff in the background. If you didn't know

YouTube in general just became slower due to bloat :,)

It's just more noticable when there isn't even longer ads to take away the attention
