Not a bad idea to move towards a browser that allows for similar functionality: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2022/03/13/youtube-vanced-is-...

To anyone out of the loop, Firefox Android has basically killed add-ons, similar to Chrome. This is why you have to go through 12 steps just to install a fucking addon.

Just a nitpick, the word it's does not imply possession, you are looking for 'its'. If you cannot substitute your usage of it's with 'it is' then it is the wrong one to use.
English spelling is so fucked up. Possessives normally have the apostrophe, except the possessive pronouns. Just because.

YTM cannibalized Google Music, and replaced it with a service with less features. I don't see $10/mo for a lesser product as a good deal at all.
I agree it’s not close to as good as GPM was, but the YTP package still holds enough value for me overall..

I don't get this argument against proprietary software. People building software should be able to expect payment for their work and effort. Food is required for a healthy society but would anyone here advocate for farmers to give away all of their produce for free? Text-tiles are necessary for society but would you advocate that clothing be provided by the creators free of charge? The only thing different about soft…
You seem to be under the impression that permissively licensed software is unable to be sold, nor developers financially compensated. This is not the case. There are plenty of successful software companies whose offerings are not proprietary, yet manage to pay their developers well. Example products: - MongoDB - Red Hat - Docker - Elastic Search - Vagrant
Their software was ripped and resold by a billion dollar corps and they could do nothing about it.

Others have already covered the sharp edges elsewhere in this thread. My specific (brief) experiences include: Instead of playing the video.. - Wait forever while it spins. - Crashes randomly. Repeatedly. - No way to reference previously watched or liked videos. - Atrocious, non-functional search. Have all these bugs have been fixed in the past 6 months?
Bar about a day when youtube-the-site made an update that broke newpipe's parsing, I've never seen the first two. There's a history tab, I don't really use ot but looking over it now it looks decent, and can sort by most and last played. The only issue I've had with search is that it doesn't return playlists, but my typical flow is to go to the profile page and follow a link from there so it hasn't bothered me.
Perhaps a hardware issue, or NewPipe handles spotty connections poorly or something.

Mongodb, Docker and elastic search are not good examples. Their software was ripped and resold by a billion dollar corps and they could do nothing about it.

I agree with your point, but you picked stunningly bad examples. MongoDB and ElasticSearch are both fauxpen source, and Vagrant and Docker are both open core. The only one on your list that's really open source is Red Hat. Better examples would be Nextcloud and Grafana.

The mobile YouTube site is one of the worst usability experiences out there.
You need to see the clusterfuck that is Twitter.com mobile site, it's so slow and laggy that it makes YT seem like a perfectly good page.
Just replace the domain with "nitter.net" any time someone sends you a link to a tweet, and you're good to go.
