One word, Revanced.
Several words: mobile Firefox, ad block, disable youtube app, disable known links to youtube.
Several more words:
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!
We didn't start the fire!
Thank you.
It's always so refreshing to see someone do the thing you were expecting would happen!
I'm wondering how to get "shiny teeth and me" into a comment somewhere...
And what would be the benefit over Revanced?
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 sponsor block in ff though?
It works with the addon enabled, just like desktop firefox. But right now it's a bitch to manually install addons on the android version, so it's a lot of work. I just use newpipe-sponserblock. Or also LibreTube is also nice while also having sponserblock built in.
how do you install addons on firefox android? I use iceraven now.
To install desktop add-ons you need to use nightly and create an add-on collection to sync. But sponsor block might have a mobile version that you can install from the settings section of the normal app.
TIL I'll have to check on those other clients too, thanks p
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.
I searched for Revanced and the top 3 results were malware, with the 4th being the real website lol. Thank God for uBlock saving my ass.
Yes, always search it on github and tell people to find it on github if you can't provide a link for them.
They should really just host their own fdroid repo with binaries of pre-patched apps at their default enabled patches.
They do not distribute any binaries to avoid copyright issues I believe. There are some telegram channels doing what you described, but I wouldn't trust it enough to use it.
https://revanced.app is the real one.
OBS was victim to this a while back. it was almost indistinguishable from the real sites so pretty dangerous
Mostly a windows issue there though, Linux and OSX have app stores to install that. Revanced is able to, and just doesn't for some reason. It's a massive security issue for many reasons, and this is a prime example of it. Especially given the app needs a ton of access on your device to operate. It's mind-blowing to me that people recommend this at all, and why there's no repo for it.
And use the patch that saves the resolution you select and it then forces it
Which patch is that? I would love to have that in my FF.
Ah, it's for revanced
extended revanced
