Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.

Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

I'm on GrapheneOS (not OEM Android), so I'm not 100% certain, but I think you can. Try this:

  1. Hold the NewPipe icon until you get the App info icon
  2. In the app settings, look for Open by default
  3. Toggle the option Open supported links
  4. Select all the verified link options

This worked. Thank you! The only extra part is going into YouTube's App info and toggling Open supported links to off, which you have to do before you're able to set NewPipe as the default for those links. Then you're able to follow the directions above and select the 4 verified links that the default YouTube usually uses.

Good to know, thanks. I don't have YouTube installed anywhere so I wouldn't have known that. :)
