Is there a way to redirect youtube links to NewPipe or similar either systemwide or at last when the link opens in Firefox?

I understand the free apps need ads, but I'd rather not watch that video than watching TWO video ads.

Ymmv depending on OS and version. I run grapheneOS and mine is in Settings -> Apps -> Defaut Apps -> Opening Links. Scroll down and select NewPipe and enable Open Supported Links. Depending on OS you may be able to set behavior per domain, e.g. open Youtube links in NewPipe but not SoundCloud or Bandcamp links.

Thans. This appears to work when I disable the open links in the official Youtube app, then activate the domains in NewPipe. On official Samsung Android 13.

Thanks a lot.

Rules:

spoiler0. Use common sense.

  1. No distribution of APKs from unknown sources or direct downloads. You are only allowed to share from GitHub (no direct links, repo only), Play Store, F-Droid, or Aurora Store.
  2. No piracy. This includes hacking, cracking in-app purchases or bypassing forms of DRM. YouTube (Music) Vanced are allowed exceptions to this.
  3. No rooting apps allowed. This also includes hacking software or tools.
  4. No apps that require root to function. This also includes Magisk and Magisk-related software. However: If the app features extra functionality that is available if you are rooted, but it is not required to use the app it is then okay. I.e. YouTube Vanced does not require root, but it features stuff that works only with root.
  5. No software that requires ADB or patching system files. Exceptions are well-known debloaters such as UAD and other manually approved stuff. Otherwise, ADB is not a user-friendly or safe tool and discourage its usage here.

These rules are subject to change at any point in time with or without user notice.
