      Assuming Android, for me the following worked:

      • Go to app info.
      • Open ‘Set as default’.
      • Turn “Open supported links” off.

      Though I’d wager that the above may be variant dependent.

      Do you have the ability to Force Stop and Disable it in your app settings?

      You should be to copy paste any youtube link into your Firefox browser.

        I haven’t checked if there’s a way to automate the links opening in FF instead of YouTube app but I’ve been copy pasting into FF personally

      Get an OS that doesn’t fill your phone with unremovable bloat ware. You can also turn off opening links in apps in the Firefox settings, or install NewPipe and make that the default app for YouTube links.

        or install NewPipe and make that the default app for YouTube links.

        tat seems to have been stopped ? all of a sudden it opening links in the YT app, and bypassing Newpipe, started about 2 weeks ago. I was shocked by the ads. How to change it back ?
