Go to youtube.com, open the extension, and make sure it shows up in the list
Yup, it’s working now. Great solution!
Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do I install this? I have the Userscripts extension turned on and with the correct folder but when I try download this I just get an html file that does nothing
@IdirisDT Press the “raw” button above, then open the extension and it should show an install button. This didn’t work before due to an issue with the file name but that is now fixed.
Thank you. That did the trick.
it possible to have the script for instagram app?
Does this currently work? It was working fine for me last week but it no longer works. As in, I see the userscript picture as [asportnoy] showed earlier in this thread, but I don't get the prompt to open in uyou. I reinstalled userscripts app, redownloaded this js script, and restarted phone. None of these worked. I'm on ios 15.5.
Edit: it now works. Apparently I needed to completely close the tab in safari and make a new tab. It has worked ever since.
I recently fixed an issue where clicking a link in YouTube would prompt you to go back to YouTube, essentially making links in descriptions unusable.
Unfortunately, I messed up the update URL in the original version, so you’ll have to delete and redownload the script to get the update. That has also been fixed, so updating to future versions should be easier.
can u do a spotify one?
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting… Problem is my default browser isn’t safari but listen to my idea for a way to make it work, and that requires even less steps.
So couldn't someone theoretically publish an app to the Apple App Store (official) that can be set as your default browser, that when done so, any link opened from another app, would be sent to this app (because it's your "Browser"), and then (configurable in the app), the user could have it say, for example, open all youtube.com URLs in YouTube (sideloaded), so whenever it grabs that link because it's considered a web browser, it would then pass it off to YouTube, and then have it where if it's any other link not any of the ones that the user wants to be opened in a specific app to then pass it off to the user's real web browser of choice, again configurable in the app.
I don't know if this would be allowed on the App Store, I have no idea of Apple's rules on that kind of stuff, I've never tried this, and I'm not a Swift programer, but I think this could work if Apple allows it on the store.
This did not work on my Safari, so I patched this script: https://gist.github.com/sevenc-nanashi/83d7214c43e47f9f689a9199f81f0a8e
I hope this is useful.
Updated script accordingly, should be working again. Thanks.
I have downloaded the userscript extension, I have enabled it, I have set the userscript directory, I have downloaded the above script to the directory. When I open a YouTube link I don’t get the open in YouTube pop-up, what am I doing wrong?
