Comment on YouTube really showing top quality in recent update

I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)

Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.

I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable

Have you tried FreeTube?

It’s the only way I watch YouTube on PC these days and it works pretty well most of the time. Also nice since the YouTube website almost never works for me.

  Grayjay is also good. Both on Android and pc with sync and subscriptions and history.

    I’ve been meaning to try this. It’s backed by Louis Rossman, so I’m sure it’s great.

    Good to know, this comment chain finally convinced me to try it out.
