Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

The Google Pixel won't let me uninstall the YouTube app and I hate it.
On my iphone I’ve got a folder called “immortals” for the apps I can’t delete.
Many preinstalled app can't be uninstalled but can be disabled. Go to settings-apps and find the disable button for that app.
It doesn't work, YouTube links still open in the app.
Unless you install an alternative player and set it as default. Would recommend newpipe x sponsorblock:

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I wish I could just have YouTube links open in the browser. I hate the app. I have to close it 3 times before the stupid video window goes away.
You should be able to uninstall it using adb commands, if you're willing to give it a try.
Else, Newpipe is really neat. Background playback, no ads, sponsored segments automatically skipped.
It's basically youtube premium plus extra features.
I installed Newpipe yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I hope it's safe.
Been using it for >7 years now since one of the earliest alpha versions, perfectly safe :-)
Cool! I installed the version that skips the sponsored stuff at the beginning of the video too.
Yep, I've been with this fork as well ever since they started. It's so blissful to experience just the pure video...
Try pausing the video before you close it. Then it shouldn't persist.
