Re:Tell HN: Android blocks users from granting permissions to some apps on Sunday March 22, 2026 @08:40AM (#47476913)

I've run into similar issues with android permissions blocking apps that I know are safe. It feels like they're making it harder to customize your phone how you want. For youtube, I've just been using skipcut which blocks ads and comments without needing any weird permissions or logins, and i love it.

Most people won’t allow clipboard access, that’s why I never added the paste button.

I’m already planning to use a different player to remove YouTube branding, playback speed controls, and other features.

Thanks for the feedback.

Which notifications? Related Sponsorblock?? I will add toggle to off them in Sponsorblock setting soon.

Yes. Some videos are not allowed by channel owners.

It uses an embed player, like how IMDb or any website uses it. When I added YouTube videos to my website, I observed that ads never show there, so I made it and added a sponsor block too. Now, I can watch videos on any device or share links without anyone installing anything.
