    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?

          It tends to break whenever YT updates something, which happens kinda often. PipePipe tends to work as an alternative, but mine never shows the videos’ image preview for some reason

          Much better! It’s definitely much better than when I started using it. I remember it being so buggy at first.
