Hi all,
I use ublock origin in medium blocking mode which blocks a lot of urls by default, google / youtube included. For the longest time I have to unblock, google.com, googlestatic.com, youtube.com (and usually some more) every time I want to watch an embedded video.
I don’t use the youtube website in general, I use freetube for all my youtube watching. Libredirect even opens direct youtube links in freetube but it can’t handle embedded videos (at least not in a way without unblocking the urls before).
The best solution would be a userscript or extension that replaces all embedded youtube videos with links I can click to open them in freetube. I was surprised I couldn’t find something like this. Does anybody know about a solution?
*EDIT: I found a a way to make embedded youtube videos clickable: https://xcancel.com/gorhill/status/1377613397710229506#m
This is straight from the ublock origin developers. Sadly even in this case you have to globally unblock youtube.com and google.com which is a no go for me.
Cheers
Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have exactly the same setup as you, I also use librewolf and all sites that have embedded youtube (or any embedded video) don’t work.
This one for example: https://www.androidauthority.com/hands-on-one-ui-7-home-up-3522949/
With medium mode enabled I just have a white space in the middle of the article. When I manually allow “youtube.com” and “google.com” the video loads.
Do you get a different behavior?
