I've run into similar issues with android permissions blocking apps that I know are safe. It feels like they're making it harder to customize your phone how you want. For youtube, I've just been using skipcut which blocks ads and comments without needing any weird permissions or logins, and i love it.

Most people won’t allow clipboard access, that’s why I never added the paste button.

I’m already planning to use a different player to remove YouTube branding, playback speed controls, and other features.

Thanks for the feedback.


Which notifications? Related Sponsorblock?? I will add toggle to off them in Sponsorblock setting soon.


keep sharing.


Thanks for the feedback. I will update it soon.


thanks a lot.


It uses an embed player, like how IMDb or any website uses it. When I added YouTube videos to my website, I observed that ads never show there, so I made it and added a sponsor block too. Now, I can watch videos on any device or share links without anyone installing anything.


I also noticed embedded YouTube videos don't seem to play ads. I am planning to make a beat-aware YouTube player, so I was wondering how ads would affect the timing...


Some videos don't allow embedding though, for example the Formula 1 channel disallow it for seemingly all their videos: https://skipcut.com/watch?v=QGTErgNcpDM


Yes. Some videos are not allowed by channel owners.


thanks for the feedback.


It’s for the people who don’t want to install anything, just visit & paste and play on any device.
