When people post YouTube links… is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I’m on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it’s pissing me off like in a huge way… is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

    Yes! You can use an alternative front end - you’ll have to watch in your browser.

    There is a bot on some communities that will post the Piped Version. The other option is to use a version of Invidious which you can find here.

    Clicking on a YouTube link will take you to the YouTube app if you have it. You’d have to copy and paste the link into the search fields of the above.

    The other option is to use xvanced. I have not used it in a long time and I’m not sure of the current status but it should work.
