I followed the link of a video here on Lemmy just a few minutes ago and it opened in the browser.
Nothing shocking up to this point.
Then I get a prompt from the video saying "Ready to buy products advertised in the video? Log into the official app in order to."
Direct purchase through the YT app is a novelty for me.
Newpipe all the way.
I recommend Tubular. Newpipe with Sponsorblock. Didn't realise how much of a game changer that would be until I tried it.
Just need to find a way to stop Eternity from opening Youtube links in the browser. Sure you can share it with the app but it would be a lot more convenient.
Tried newpipe when I migrated from reddit. It worked 50% of thw time. Any better now?
