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

    I don’t know why you don’t want to go thru YouTube or use an adblocker but if you have uBlock Origin installed on your Firefox browser as you should then it automatically blocks YouTube ads aswell.

        You can install ad-blocker on Firefox mobile aswell. Atleast on Android you can.

          They’re probably talking about the YT app. Its ads cannot be bypassed with uBlock Origin.
