TSNH Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I'm looking for a PaleMoon extension that automatically redirects desktop youtube links to the less bloated m.youtube.com. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I can do some digging. Don't have any offhand. But do note, removing the bloat isn't the entire issue. Mobile YouTube sends a different codec so that the streaming data is friendlier to your mobile data plan. But that mobile codec is harder on your CPU. Extensions that play 30FPS videos instead of 60FPS videos has seemed to be more effective in my experience as far as YouTube "bloat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlawHusbando Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) You don't need anykind of extension/addon for that, Pale Moon already supported this by default by using about:config and add: general.useragent.override.m.youtube.com -> Opera/12.02 (Android 4.1; Linux; Opera Mobi/ADR-1111101157; U; en-US) Presto/2.9.201 Version/12.02[/CODE] If you want to force Youtube Desktop: general.useragent.override.www.youtube.com -> Opera/12.02 (Android 4.1; Linux; Opera Mobi/ADR-1111101157; U; en-US) Presto/2.9.201 Version/12.02 If you want to use MPV to watch Youtube, read this thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=237706#p237631 Video: https://streamable.com/4zztn3 Edited March 17, 2023 by OutlawHusbando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The extension always forces the mobile layout as well as the suggested user agent. I personally like the idea of having a normal GUI for it, so I coded a user script a while back that lets you choose the layout when you're on the site. I don't really use it though, was just something I coded for the sake of coding something that I thought I could do. https://gist.github.com/UCyborg/754fe319866a7f126ec1d074ed922b37/raw/YouTube_layout_config.user.js I think they were discussing some usability tweaks for the mobile site a while back on Pale Moon forum. Didn't really look into it since I tend to stick with normal desktop site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
