reVanced is alive, well, good, and at this point necessary

No, Firefox with uBlock works fine!

Watching youtube in a mobile browser works, but is a completely separate form of torture

It's not that bad if you add uBlock, Sponsorblock, DeArrow and NoYoutubeShorts.

Do Vanced et al even have Sponsorblock functionality?

[-] raina@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

Revanced does, that's how I was introduced to it. And the UI is more polished than the Sponsorblock browser extension.

Nice. I might try it!

When I see a link to a potentially interesting YT video, I just send the link to my PC.
