I’m using GrapheneOS, the default Vanadium browser works great but it doesnt block ads. I want to install a 2nd browser just for youtube and my specific Google account for youtube. I also tried Newpipe and similar apps, but they cant use my Google’s playlist and comments. I need them, that is why I think to use a 2nd browser.
Is there a way to set Youtube links (youtube.com, m.youtube.com…etc) to be opened in a non default browser, say Brave or Firefox?
i thought its overkill too, but i tried it out and it works surprisingly well. I use the Automation script like this, alao using Via because for some reasons Firefox/Brave keep playing audio even when you minimize. Everything from Unshort to Toast are the defaults, I only added the last 2:

{ “Unshort bit.ly”: { “regex”: “https?:\/\/bit\.ly\/.", “action”: “unshort”, “enabled”: false }, “Send everything to webhook”: { “regex”: ".”, “action”: “webhook”, “enabled”: false }, “Toast example”: { “regex”: “TrianguloY”, “action”: “toast”, “args”: { “text”: “👋🙂” } }, “YouTube to Secondary Browser”: { “regex”: “.(youtube\.com|youtu\.be).”, “action”: “open”, “args”: { “package”: “mark.via.gp” }, “enabled”: true, “stop”: true }, “Everything else to Vanadium”: { “regex”: “.*”, “action”: “open”, “args”: { “package”: “app.vanadium.browser” }, “enabled”: true, “stop”: true } }
It works. If I tap a Youtube link, Via / Brave / Firefox opens. Otherwise, it is Vanadium.
