I've heard Firefox's inbuilt tracking protection often trips whatever detection method they're using, and like, I'm not turning that off for Youtube.
Quick someone post that 3rd party YouTube interface for Android. Preferably on F-Roids. I need it.
This is the Internet so let's settle this quickly and efficiently.
There's a few options
Newpipe, uses it's own extractor, also can act as a player for SoundCloud and Peertube, there's also a fork with SponsorBlock: https://newpipe.net/
Libretube, uses the Piped api, generally seen as the one with the best UI: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube
Clipious, uses the Invidious api: https://github.com/lamarios/clipious
Could also watch videos in a browser from an Invidious or Piped instance I guess
And while I'm at it I'll also mention there's a client option on desktop too, Freetube: https://freetubeapp.io/
