youtube on modern phones sucks - Lemmy.world

Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription. The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality. This was better on some “feature phones” without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

One word, Revanced.
I searched for Revanced and the top 3 results were malware, with the 4th being the real website lol. Thank God for uBlock saving my ass.
revanced.app is the real one.
ReVanced

Continuing the legacy of Vanced.
