    I have ad blockers on my PC, use Smarttube on my Firestick, and ReVanced on my phone. And when someone sends me a youtube link in a group chat or something and I click it, it’ll open the standard Youtube. 1/2 ads, 30+ seconds long, can’t skip them… I just don’t even bother watching what you sent me.

      Try installing URLCheck (it’s on F-Droid) and make it your default browser, then remove open-by-defaults from the YouTube app.

      It should let you open in the ReVanced or better yet Morphe version of YouTube. If tapping the link doesn’t open URLCheck, then “Share” the link and select URLCheck.
