Hi all,

I use ublock origin in medium blocking mode which blocks a lot of urls by default, google / youtube included. For the longest time I have to unblock, google.com, googlestatic.com, youtube.com (and usually some more) every time I want to watch an embedded video.

I don’t use the youtube website in general, I use freetube for all my youtube watching. Libredirect even opens direct youtube links in freetube but it can’t handle embedded videos (at least not in a way without unblocking the urls before).

The best solution would be a userscript or extension that replaces all embedded youtube videos with links I can click to open them in freetube. I was surprised I couldn’t find something like this. Does anybody know about a solution?

*EDIT: I found a a way to make embedded youtube videos clickable: https://xcancel.com/gorhill/status/1377613397710229506#m

This is straight from the ublock origin developers. Sadly even in this case you have to globally unblock youtube.com and google.com which is a no go for me.

Cheers

    That’s what I want to do and was my initial question. How do I do that with medium mode enabled?

      i dont, as I came to the conclusion that medium mode is too much work and not worth it (especially on mobile). Got Phoenix and manually imported some of the blocklists into Ironfox (for example “⛔ yokoffing’s click2load filters” does what is described in the x-post you linked, but as you noted, you will still connect youtube
