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?

that unfortunately only works if you have another app (not browser) that can play Youtube video like Revanced or NewPipe. If you have 2 browsers and no Youtube apps installed, there will be no options to select the youtube.com links.
I am on graphene.
Give me a minute.
…
Go to settings > apps > default apps > opening links
Select vanadium > select in browser
Should now say don’t allow to open links.
Set your preferred browser to open in app.
Test.
thanks but i swear i must be missing something here:
Settings / Apps / Defaults Apps / Opening Links
Vanadium => Open in browser. It now says Dont allow to open links
Firefox => Open in App. It now says Allow to open links
I assume Vanadium is still aet as Default browser in Settings/Appa/Default App / Browser app. Then, I only do the steps you show above.
Test: tap on anylink => vanadium opens.
