  Several words: mobile Firefox, ad block, disable youtube app, disable known links to youtube.

      Thank you.

      It’s always so refreshing to see someone do the thing you were expecting would happen!

      I’m wondering how to get “shiny teeth and me” into a comment somewhere…

    And what would be the benefit over Revanced?

    source

    • SonnyVabitch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Nothing, I this person I know of just had FF and adblock set up already for other reasons, so all I they had to do was stop the youtube app hijacking its own links.

      No need for side loading apps. So works on all phones. Phones that are remotely admin have this feature off.

        Firefox can’t load plugins on iPhones anyway. If you’re on Android, and it’s a personal device, ReVanced is a better experience.

  I searched for Revanced and the top 3 results were malware, with the 4th being the real website lol. Thank God for uBlock saving my ass.

    Yes, always search it on github and tell people to find it on github if you can’t provide a link for them.

      They should really just host their own fdroid repo with binaries of pre-patched apps at their default enabled patches.

      source

      • stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        They do not distribute any binaries to avoid copyright issues I believe. There are some telegram channels doing what you described, but I wouldn’t trust it enough to use it.

    revanced.app is the real one.

    OBS was victim to this a while back. it was almost indistinguishable from the real sites so pretty dangerous

      Mostly a windows issue there though, Linux and OSX have app stores to install that. Revanced is able to, and just doesn’t for some reason. It’s a massive security issue for many reasons, and this is a prime example of it. Especially given the app needs a ton of access on your device to operate. It’s mind-blowing to me that people recommend this at all, and why there’s no repo for it.

        Revanced can’t exist as a standalone app to be installed like from a store. Google would nuke it. It has to be a patcher. Original Vanced was a standalone app and that is what allowed Google to nuke it from orbit. It’s arguable that Google ignored Vanced until the developers got money grubby and tried making NFTs, but the method they used for takedown was DMCA since it was their app just modified.

        This is the same thing as ROM hacks, randomizers, etc and why they include a place to upload your own copy of the ROM rather than providing their own. Reverse engineering and modifying are legal, distributing copyright source, binaries, or blobs without the rightsholder permissions is not.

        They also do have a repo for it, as well as the offshoot apps like Revanced manager, other app patches, etc. The fact it’s not at the top of Google results is a Google-and-SEO problem, not a Revanced problem.

        If you want a one and done app install then something like Newpipe is what you want, which is built completely on its own. Revanced is explicitly not that, it’s the stock app hacked up. IMHO, Revanced is a nicer experience, but they are two very different experiences and approaches.

  And use the patch that saves the resolution you select and it then forces it

  • chepox@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Which patch is that? I would love to have that in my FF.
