I don’t know this for sure, but I feel like this is something you can do with freetube. Regardless, it’s worth looking into.

I don't like using apps to start with tbh, 100% pass on that. Installing random software to phones should never have become so commonplace.

I agree. We have mobile web sites for just about everything. Apps should really only be for when the requirements are too complex for a website. Webapps are probably convenient alternative for most apps.

Hell, I can do my banking on the mobile site, so why do I need to install an app and share my phone's contacts and precise location? Why does it need to access my phone's storage and sensors and ability to make calls?

I use an app for local banking because the encryption is a little better and there is potential for browser addons to view the page data, but TBH I wouldn't trust a Wells Fargo or US Bank app lol.

I run GrapheneOS, so I can more explicitly set permissions and scopes, but the app won't run without all the permissions enabled, so I won't use it.

The only thing the app can do that the website can't is deposit checks with a picture, and considering how rarely I use checks, it's not something I need an app for.

I'm on Calyx but a couple issues have made me wish I had chosen Graphene.
