YouTube is fucking unusable on mobile. I couldn't even tell what website I was on and why I had TikTok ads in my face that autoplayed. Closed them and the content I wanted to view was gone and there was a video of a little dog instead. FUCK off
Thanks. If I accidentally clicked "always" how can I get that option to pop up again?
Edit; NM figured it out, in newpipe settings under "behavior" "video open option" I just switched to "always ask" so I can see how the different options work as I get familiar and then will choose the one I prefer.
Something like
Settings > apps> default apps > opening links > newpipe
Then select the urls you want to open in newpipe.
Also select the YouTube app and don't allow it to open links
I mainly use Revanced, but when an update breaks something this is the way to go. Whenever I accidentally open the official youtube app I feel like I stepped on a dog turd

Install newpipe

Does that automatically play YouTube videos when opened or something, or what would it do in this situation of being linked to YouTube content?

Yes. You can make it the default YouTube player on android, so you click a YouTube link and it opens in the newpipe app.

Thanks. I have newpipe installed, which setting would enable newpipe to open instead of YouTube?
