    Even with premium they will send lower quality if they think they can get away with it, I have to change the quality on every video that plays on my tablet now: it completely ignores the preferred quality in the settings.

      I haven’t noticed any issues on Firefox, can also use an add-on to force specific quality.

        Yeah I sometimes switch to Firefox instead of the youtube app, but its a little bit annoying switching in and out of fullscreen and I’ve found the tap to fast forward doesn’t work consistently. I wasn’t able to find an addon for Firefox Android to force the quality selection last time I looked but maybe I need to check again.

        Just started getting this ad on the mobile site:

        The implementation seems to be too clever for ublock-origin to block it, as the ids seem to be dynamic.

        Desktop site doesn’t get it but it doesn’t have the double tap to fast forward feature 😔 Seems to happen specifically on this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ANR_owxnll0
