they still havent cracked down on firefox + ublock
But they tried so hard...
And got so far, but in the end it doesn't really matter
One thing, I don't know why
I bought a PS5 with no games to buy
Silence!
Don't tell the holy secret to the world!
They probably will eventually, but it's just not priority. Most people interact with YouTube via Chrome (or one of the 400,000 rebranded Chromimum browsers) or the YouTube app, both of which Google can more tightly control. Firefox, with it's smaller market share, just isn't worth chasing... yet.
Still dont know what the big deal is, libretube and freetube still work fine. Same with firefox and uBlock.
I use Revanced. Out of curiosity, I tried going to youtube.com on Firefox + Ublock origin on my Samsung a70. Full screen, "double tap to forward 10 seconds", "double tap to back 10 seconds" and captions work.
