That’s a rhetorical question, in case there’s any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

    Yeah, I’ve used NewPipe for ages, but YouTube links from Lemmy open in my browser, so I’m gonna have to copy paste into it, which is going to be all kinds of annoying 😡

      Try turning on the desktop version of the site once the link is open in the browser.

      Try Better Open With. Maybe you can set it to open YT links on NewPipe. Or Revanced as another option.

        I tried BOW, but it didn’t register Lemmy OR NewPipe as existing, so that was a dud.

        I then realized that maybe I could set a global rule for all the YouTube addresses to open in NewPipe and I could so I did!

        I then clicked the link that originally gave me the OP message. It opened in NewPipe… And I got the fucking “not available in your country” message in stead!

          Assuming Android: Settings -> Apps -> Your YT app -> Set as default -> Enable everything

          “not available in your country” is easily fixed, just turn on your vpn

      On my phone this can be set by going to settings, default apps, opening links, wait unusually long for the list to load, scroll to NewPipe, choose the links you want it to handle.
