Well, yeah, the dev environment was compromised but the author restored everything and checked that it all works.
Personally I use Pipepipe and Outertube on my android phone, and just watch through a browser with adblock on my Linux phone. Although I don’t watch youtube too often, especially on my phone (maybe twice a month or so), I didn’t notice any issues with either of those methods, and never got any ads either.
I’ll be honest that’s a bit of a red flag to me. Anyone can get hacked, sure, but we don’t know what malware was shipped with the builds, we don’t know what vector the hackers used to infect the builds.
So I’m not sure I would be willing to give my YT credentials in this context.
Anyway, since I have a WebOS TV :( I guess I will have to endure the official WebOS app for now…
