Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps

Really? So you can watch videos horizontally without the video randomly flipping to vertical and back?
I’ve tried messing with the settings, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. See this bug report, finding that setting was a nightmare, and it didn’t even do anything. If it was open source, I’d probably go make a fix, but it’s not, so I guess I’ll just complain about it.

Yup, rotation just works out of the box. Tested on Graphene, Calyx and Stock Pixel Android on a Pixel 7 Pro. Also, what I love about it is that it just works (other than the eventual YouTube captcha) for every instance enabled.

Weird. Mine works a lot of the time, but then randomly flips vertical and then horizontal. I can be holding my phone super stable, and it still does it.
My phone is kinda old and crappy though (Android 11), so maybe it’s less of an issue on newer phones, but I don’t have this issue on any other app.

That thing is still in beta, so it stands to reason that it’s not able to do everything right all the time in all devices. My suggestion is that, unless you’re watching on peertube, Odysee, rumble or something like that, stick to Tubular.

I’m really trying to ditch YouTube, so yes, I’m trying to find alternatives on Odysee, Rumble, Nebula, etc.
