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.

      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

          Chromecast, a little dongle thing plugged into the HDMI port. And yes, I can connect ReVanced in this way, but it doesn’t change anything about the app that is running on the Chromecast, still has ads, still does all the sponsor shit, etc.

          I am going to be installing the app on our SpyTV later this week though.

            Ah yes, of course. If you had an actual Android TV you could install SmartTube which hides ads just like ReVanced. But I don’t think it works on a bare Chromecast

          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.
