Can't redirect to NewPipe by default on YouTube Website in Browser

Using /e/OS Applications

Hello everyone,

videos won’t open in NewPipe by default, when clicking on thumbnails on youtubes page in browsers. Links on other websites work though.

What could be wrong?

I don’t know if this is helpful: I change settings in
Settings->Apps and notification->Default apps->Link open then set ON open link for instant apps.
From here, in Fennec 3-dots, and mayne others browser, you find “open in another app”

Unfortunately I can’t change this setting neither in fennec nor e’s system browser :confused: There is no popup menu showing up, in NewPipe’s settings I can though.

As said, it works for all links anywhere else than on the youtube website.

:thinking:
…this is not a browser setting but a system setting…

Thanks for your replies!

Sorry for being inaccurate, I meant “for” not “in”. I know, I changed the setting for NewPipe there, but i can’t tap or anything for the browsers in this system setting.

I even installed the youtube app for testing, if it is maybe youtube.com that won’t let me open in a different app for default, but it did not work either.

So I’m afraid but I can’t help you anymore on this. :pensive: Maybe someone else can. I think it would be better to know your phone (FP3?) and the OS version.
