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

        Meh. The phones give us less and less control and plenty to be annoyed over; but the ads are greedy, evil Google’s fault. I’m taking heat over their horrible air ai (see what I mean? And it did wait until I couldn’t see the word anymore!) autocorrect and/or packet loss on my phone. I really am biding my time, until I have time and money to switch to Fairphone or find alternative software that works with my hardware. Frankly, I wouldn’t have a smartphone at all, if I didn’t need it for certain things. Best of luck in your future endeavors, friend.
