This is a plugin I found recently and really enjoy. It gives you the opportunity to redirect several webpages to alternatives. For example Youtube to FreeTube or Piped. If I search for youtube in Firefox, FreeTube automatically opens and shows me my feed. I like it, I use it, I can recommend it.
I will take a look, but can anyone offer suggestions for casting from my phone? Over the years I have become very accustomed to setting up a YouTube casting queue when I start my remote work shift and just letting it play all day as background noise and as much as I hate YT, I love the creators I watch and the convenience. I am very much so ambivalent about the abuses vs my mental well-being for work.
Take a look at ReVanced
Unfortunately both ReVanced and ReVanced Extended do not support casting. Just tested it. The whole issue is that I need it put onto the TV, which they unfortunately can not do. I will be keeping them for when I am watching on my phone, so thank you for that.
Is the TV “smart”? You can manually connect ReVanced to the TV by inputting the code shown on the TV’s YouTube app
Nevermind, I got it working.
Ok, still not right. Looks like I am going to have to fight. I have hope though. Will report back if I actually get it working.
SmartTubeNext
Unfortunately, much like ReVanced, does not support Chromecast.
Install it on your Chromecast, that’s what I’ve done. No you can’t cast but you can log in and find your history and such and pull the video up there
