Basically the title. I hate the ad ridden offical Youtube app and would prefer to have it open in Firefox or some other browser. Is this possible? Is there a setting I missed? If it's not possible right now can it be possible in the future?

Also I love Jerboa, perfect replacement for RIF, been very happy with it so far, much love!

Use Newpipe. It plays youtube (and several video sites') videos without any ads nor trackings. No Google account needed.

Install it and set it as the app for opening youtube links in system settings.

Note that the app is not available in Google Play store. It can be installed from f-droid, or you can directly download its apk.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
