That's actually a known bug in Fennec, nothing to do with Google

FF6 with eOS is awesome! For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I actually own the device! Very liberating.

Don't forget their ongoing war on ad blocking. I'll miss NewPipe so much.

NewPipe, PipePipe, Grayjay, brave mobile

One of them generally works.

The latest NewPipe is working for me right now. It only ever dies for a few days.

It's working, yeah, but it's ~~sideloaded~~ installed outside of a washed garden, so it'll soon be uninstallable.

The inevitable end is when they bake the commercials into the stream, take away the skip buttons and ban accounts for timeskipping over commercials through other detectable means.

The inevitable counter is we screencap youtubers, feed it through comskip, and produce commercial-free content and torrent it.

I've been using NewPipe without problems. Is it supposed to have gone away?

Mine insists I'm a bot and requests I sign in.

Other times it works occasionally.

Like rolling dice.

You can try Futo's Grayjay. Always updating its YT plugin when Google breaks it.

Welcome friend! I've been having a great time with e/os on my FP6.

I recommend the lawnchair launcher if you don't like the stock one.

Yes lawnchair is a must have with e/os. I like what /e/os is pushing for but im puzzled on why they did this horrendous launcher and the way they change stock android look.

I'm on an FP6 with iodéOS, very smooth so far, and apparently security is better than with /e/OS.

I had to manually flash it though.

It sadly doesn't change the fact that those phones barely exists and the few that does are either incredibly old or only very partially supported.

And we may be fine with that

I have a Jolla C2 with SailfishOS, it has Android app support based on AlienDalvik, and my banking app runs just fine there. I can use Nextcloud, etc. For my needs it runs great.
