Original article: January 28, 2026 (5:39 PM ET): A YouTube Premium subscription not only allows you to avoid ads, but also gives you access to a variety of benefits. However, there are ways to get around YouTube’s paywall to access these features for free. This usually includes turning to a browser that’s not Chrome and using ad blockers. Those who use these workarounds are now reporting that one commonly used feature is now broken.
The fuck is a third-party browser?
My guess would be browser other than Google Chrome. But idk not entirely sure.
Ohhhh. I think it’s because they banned extensions that can do things like this.
