Most of the time, fellow Lemmies post videos via YouTube links. Each yime, I end up with a series of ads before being able to see the actual video. Is there a way to open these links directly in NewPipe?
There is a “open by default” setting on android which lets you select which links you want to open in the app by default
You can use a browser extension called LibRedirect. It’s redirects YouTube, Twitter, TikTok… requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
I don’t know how you’re viewing these posts (native client? Web browser?), but as long as you can share the URL, which I can in Eternity or the Lemmy Web UI, you can hand it off to NewPipe.
On Android, you’re looking for a menu item or button that looks like this:
The first time you share something with NewPipe, you may need to scroll through the list a bit, but Android has a least-recently-used sort on the list, so it’ll be at the top next time.
I wish I had a better answer, but I just copy and paste.
There was an extension. Privacy relay or smth. Not quite sure.
