The fuck is a third-party browser?
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.
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.

Brave on Android still works for me, although given Google’s propensity to do unannounced AB testing on its users, I wouldn’t be surprised if that didn’t hold true for most other people.
Grayjay’s got it covered.
