Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription.

The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.

This was better on some “feature phones” without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

      Nothing, I this person I know of just had FF and adblock set up already for other reasons, so all I they had to do was stop the youtube app hijacking its own links.

      No need for side loading apps. So works on all phones. Phones that are remotely admin have this feature off.

        Firefox can’t load plugins on iPhones anyway. If you’re on Android, and it’s a personal device, ReVanced is a better experience.
