Youtube-webos is the single reason why I've resumed watching YT in the livingroom. I had stopped when they introduced the second pre-roll ad and a lot of things became unskippable. Now my old TV is rooted, it doesn't really phone home, it doesn't show ads and it's a breeze. Let's hope it stays that way, because Google is already trying to fight the adblockers for some time now.
Comment on YouTube app is the worst

I believe my WebOS version is so old, they stopped any update or data collection servers. I had developer mode running before. That's perfectly alright. Just a bit annoying to constantly refresh, and somehow my attempts to automate it failed. So one day I rooted it and now I have full ssh access, a homebrew channel... And I would have liked to use that to run an Ambilight, and that requires root. Sadly it requires a newer operating system version so I still don't have any LEDs in the background.

Yup that’s my way to go.
Revanced on my phone for watching quick videos/on the go and SmartTube on the TV. If I find a longer video to watch I usually start it in Revanced and then play it from history in SmartTube
