This wiki also features articles on Krull, the Allspark, and the Chaos Emeralds. I can only assume this all takes place in the Tails Gets Trolled universe.

Use NewPipe

Piped seems to work for most Youtube videos on Firefox, at least that I’ve found. My issue is that I have a youtube addon that allows me to double the volume and it doesn’t work on piped.

jaybone ,

What’s the downside to switching to piped?

Stamets ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

There are fewer features than there are on YouTube. That’s about it. Otherwise it runs better in every regard.

The only reason I use YouTube proper is because of add-ons I already have that make my YouTube experience better.

What is the equivalent for being assimilated? Subscribing to YouTube Premium? Watching the ads?

But the borg assimilate you for free.

This joke is backwards.

YouTube is the one trying to kill an infinitely adaptable adversary they stand no chance of defeating.

MJBrune ,

You say that like the federation doesn’t win every single time. Humans are more adaptable than the borg.

admiralteal ,

Man, what kind of universe am I in where a Wolf 359-truther is getting favorites.

MJBrune ,

Haha, I don’t know enough about that fan theory to say I believe it or not but I will say no matter what, humans still stopped the Borg cube. Otherwise Earth would have gotten assimilated.

takeda ,

They are “remodulating” chrome. If you continue to use chrome and any browser based on it, you might soon realize that adblocking doesn’t work anymore, because filtering support was neutered and you no longer will be able to switch to Firefox, as they will outright block it as it allows to block ads.

It is important to use Firefox now to make sure sites won’t start blocking it.

roguetrick ,

If YouTube ever blocks Firefox alphabet will finally be broken up.

Serinus ,

Wanna bet? There are ways to frog in a boiling pot this. And chrome isn’t the only browser that will support blocking Firefox. (They’ll argue Chromium is not Google, only Chrome).

roguetrick ,

That's a fig leaf. US courts might agree with that argument, but European courts will see that it all is monopolistic practices to support their ad business. YouTube itself can't survive market dominance without it's preferential deals with it's parent company's hosting and ads. Ask viemo how using cloud hosting to serve video and third party ads works out. It would be suicidal. The truth is they ALREADY should be broken up.

Google likely will be one of the last ones to do it (exactly so it will be hard to to put them in court). I already see Microsoft (surprise!) do this and asking to use Chrome or Edge.

Sounds like websites should subsidize firefox users by serving MORE ads to chrome users.

MossyFeathers ,

You say that but Google is working on shoving a drm scheme into Chrome that’d keep you from being able to modify sites (e.g. ad and script blocking) and, due to the sheer market share that chrome and Chromium-based browsers have, Google can kinda just do whatever they want. Of course, it’s ultimately up to the site owners to implement it, but you know probably 90% of sites will use it.

Somehow I’ve been fine? Is my setup the chosen one or it just hasn’t come down to me/my region yet?

Weslee ,

professor ,

It’s sent out in waves.

First escalation, you just a warning with an “X” that you can close.

Second escalation, you will be the same warning but without the “X”. You can of course just block the element.

Third escalation, you get the “3 videos” message. After this, YouTube no longer serves you videos. You can get around this by logging out and using incognito mode on Firefox. There are other ways too if you go browse some ublock origin communities.

Stampela ,

I’ve been wondering about that too, after seeing this post I watched a 10+ minutes video and it was fine, but I’m not… on an average setup.

So for the moment I’m just going to suppose it’s not active for me yet. Thanks.

WarmSoda ,

I don’t log in when I watch YouTube on Firefox. It remembers your watched videos anyways so why bother? I can’t leave comments or like anything, but “oh no”

I wonder if that’s why I haven’t seen any about using ublock.

tigeruppercut ,

Do you know if there’s a way to be logged into gmail (haven’t been able to extract myself from google yet) and logged out of youtube while on firefox? I thought they’d be separate but I tried logging out of yt and found my gmail had been logged out as well.

I’ve just been using private windows recently but I figure FF probably has the capability to keep your log in instances between tabs separate if you tell it to, I just don’t know how.

WarmSoda ,

I haven’t gotten away from Gmail yet either.
I use a email app for that. My Firefox just hasn’t ever seen me log into anything Google, so it doesn’t even try when I visit YouTube. I don’t even use private windows for YouTube.

The fact that inflammable and flammable mean the same thing in reality still fucking infuriates me.

Well, if I was deemed a criminal by the act of existing, I wouldn’t care a lot about ethics either.
