Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

    Could someone please give me a rundown of how these work/if they have mobile apps? I’ve been paying for premium pretty much since Vanced was killed (and also before I found Vanced) and really the only thing that’s stopped me from using a YouTube mirror is the lack of good mobile applications.

      I found this is good explanation: https://lemm.ee/comment/4966310

      LibreTube is on F-Droid for an Android app, pretty sure there is something for iOS as well but not sure. It hs its issues but I manage. Set up low tier patreon for some content creators from my “premium budget” too.
