My main use case would be links to youtube which trigger the (uninstallable) yt app which instantly plays ads. I’d like to use NewPipe instead, for whixh I need tge link url.

    I can long hold any post to open the options menu, one being to crosspost, another to share. From there i can choose to copy the link no problem

    Edit: looks like this

      Depends on the phone, mine wouldn’t let me do that. I had to freeze YouTube before grayjay would open the link.

        Initially I had the YouTube app setting for opening supported links, off, & Newpipe set to do so, and it worked fine, although now having switched to a new phone, I’ve just disabled the YouTube app as I wasn’t using it at all. So now just Newpipe and Libretube.

          Nice! Yeah they really locked that down in later android versions, it’s a pita now. Of course that could just be some ColorOS malarkey too.
