Basically the title. I hate the ad ridden offical Youtube app and would prefer to have it open in Firefox or some other browser. Is this possible? Is there a setting I missed? If it’s not possible right now can it be possible in the future?

Also I love Jerboa, perfect replacement for RIF, been very happy with it so far, much love!

Android controls that, not Jerboa, unfortunately. But you can easily change it in settings.

Thanks! I am not a technology oriented person so I had no idea.

Go in your options and disable the app. I use Firefox as well and it opens them up directly in there now.

Youtube links open your browser if you uninstall the youtube app using adb

This issue is more of a problem with android itself rather than with jerboa… One of the easiest way to deal with it is to disable the official youtube app.

At least, that’s what I do.

I’m not sure if this is available on Android, but Vinegar, which is a Safari extension, for iOS basically gives you YouTube premium, except Vinegar is a one-time payment of something around $5.

There are no ads; it auto-plays videos at 1080p; AND you can swipe up to make the picture-in-picture (or whatever it’s called) where you can go to other apps or turn off the screen and keep a video playing.

If you’re on iOS, this is what you’re looking for, my friend!
