YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems

Fuck Google.

Searching a tracking number from Chrome using Google? Finds a package.

Same search on Google from Firefox leads to nothing.

Someone, light the EU signal!

Lawsuit intensifies in the distance

Fuck Google. Ruining the internet for profit.

Can you say Anticompetition practices?

1 lawsuit, 2 lawsuit, 3 lawsuit ah ah ah

YouTube thinks aarch64 Firefox is... a HiSense TV?!?!?!?!

Ah yes, televisions are exactly where the user wants lower resolution

User Agent String: A browser's way of lying about what it is, in order to not trigger some server's arcane content filtering system.

The more bullshit like this I read about YouTube the more I despite them. I already use GrayJay on mobile and I'm using ublock Origin + ublock Matrix on Librewolf to control cookie usage on desktop. So far I've been able escape the video player block by clearing cache.

I'm just waiting for the day they "force" me onto another frontend.

They finally made YouTube unusable for me even with ublock. Refreshing the filters didn't work and told me I could only watch 3 videos.

Google was always going to win the war but I didn't expect it to be like this.

I'm now using piped for all YouTube videos.

From what I can understand from the thread, they aren't deliberatly crippling FF.

That’s gonna be a lawsuit…

Switched to Freetube/Invidious. Like the sun, I'm never looking directly at Youtube.com ever again.

Hmm, anti competitive practices.

Joke is on them, i only ever use NewPipe (or freetube on desktop)

It might just be a coincidence but I've had a lot of trouble using Invidious or Piped lately too. Videos load and titles load, but video thumbnails don't load for me.

I think they want everyone to use user agent switcher so that Firefox share will drop and then nobody will support it and will die.

Disgusting!

Asahi Linux?

They named a distro after a beer brand?

Here we go again...

Stupid question, what about 2 in 1 tablets?

And that's why I use mpv and yt-dlp, folks.

Rumble ftw!
