They seem to have removed the option not to have recommendations autoplay after the video you're watching has finished. Shit.

If you're talking about the Autoplay toggle, it's on the video player itself now, rather than at the top of the sidebar.

Oh yes, there it is, all tiny and non-obvious. Thanks.

For a while they were signalling its new location with BIG BLUE POPUP BOX, but I think they've stopped now.

I guess it wouldn't matter if they hadn't just turned autoplay back on without asking me, probably why I didn't notice BIG BLUE POPUP BOX back then. Shit.

Video quality is initially set to 360p every time for me. When I go to the Advanced menu to change the quality, to 1080p for example, the next video I watch goes back to fucking 360p instead of 1080p, and I keep having to change it.

If you click on the blue link, it'll let you change your settings globally.

On the ctv app there doesn't seem to be a 'play from start' option on a live stream so you have to rewind it like a sucker.

Been using this extension for the last few months. Works very well:

I've been using Vanced Manager to patch the Youtube APK to unlock the premium features like ad-skipping and background playback on Android. It's a small faff but pretty worth it.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD A PRE-PATCHED APK THESE ARE KNOWN TO STEAL PASSWORDS AND HIJACK YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT.

Steps: download latest manager APK
https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases/tag/v1.7.0

Let it download any updates and patches.

Select 'patcher' -> select and application -> Youtube, then make a note of the 'suggested' version.

Download the latest version from APK mirror on your device https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-23-35-release/

Point revanced manager at the apk you just downloaded and hit patch.

Once it's finished patching hit install.

DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE, they will email your bum to Sebastian Cobb.

I don't need a ruse like that, I can imagine any cabber's bum with terrifying accuracy.

Is that a legit APK site? Been wanting to do this and have the revanced manager app on my phone, but the dickheads on reddit say to be wary of these things and that they can't link directly to it but obliquely suggest to get it from "the .io site" as if everyone knows what that IS

The pre-patched versions can be loaded with malware yeah, but if you download the patching tool from github and patch it yourself with a version from apkmirror you should be fine. Apkmirror is ran by AndroidPolice (news site) and apparently verifies the uploads.
