I’ve not had good luck with Firefox on mobile, I use duckduckgo. I’m not forcing anyone to do what I do. YouTube is my main source of media for the most part. I use it on my smarts TV’s in my house - and I haven’t set up computers on all TV’s yet… So it is what it is and it works for me.
Edit: down voting my personal opinion and what I choose to spend my money on for my own convenience isn’t going to change my mind… Just saying
Oh I think I know what you mean. DDG + Firefox has some weird behavior on YouTube. I can watch the videos but if I wanna properly load the page it gives me a request failure.
It’s kind of frustrating on mobile. Have you tried loading through a different search engine? It’s not a big issue for me but it’s something I experience too as I’m a DDG user
That’s one of the big values for me, the effortless smart device support. Sure I know tech shit and I block ads in every browser I use, but it’s nice when members of my family can just use the YouTube app, full featured, on whatever TV/phone/tablet they have access to at the moment. It’s not a matter of whether I can watch YouTube for free without seeing ads, it’s a question of whether the convenience and creator support are worth the cost of a drive thru meal per month. Add in YouTube music and I don’t even think about it any more.
It’s an ease of use thing, kind of like how Steam ended PC game piracy for many people.
