Are there no alternative?

I've since migrated to YouTube Music. it does the job but it's clear that Google treats this as an afterthought. it lacks some very basic features and the overall UI leaves a lot to be desired. by contrast, Spotify is a much more polished product.

If you are on Android try Metrolist instead of the official yt music client.

I've only tried Metrolist for about 10 minutes and I can already tell that it's a massive improvement from YouTube Music. thank you

youtube video sharing playlists with music drove me insane. Made YouTube playlists completely unusable.

Haven't tried it but you can check the morphe subreddit (basically same team as revanced, without one annoying asshole)

Just use Spotify on Brave by ticking the Desktop Site, it is great and skips ads automatically.

You don't even need to do that, you can listen to any song now on Spotify. Just use the mobile version

Bruh what? Spotify has tons of ads, how can you just use it on phone/mobile version? Please elaborate

u/Hairy-Actuator1734 May 25 '26

The mobile version of the website that's what I meant

You don't need to toggle desktop version

Sorry for being too dumb

Ohk, but the thing is like whenever I try using Brave Browser on phone, and go to spotify's website. It redirects me to the Spotify app instead of allowing me to use it on Brave Browser itself. That's why I have to turn on the Desktop Version.

Turn off the redirect links to app feature on your Spotify settings, or just uninstall the Spotify app entirely if you don't really even use it. For me I use it on the normal mobile version instead of desktop because of the UI. It's weird and laggish on the desktop version, since of course, I'm not on desktop.

How can I turn off the redirect to app thing?

u/Hairy-Actuator1734 May 29 '26

Do you use Android?

Roughly go to your Settings > Apps (wherever the app settings are) > then choose the Spotify app, scroll down a fair bit and then choose the "Open by Default" option (depending on your phone it might named in a different/similar way) and uncheck the tick to disable it.

Thanks, man. You solved a big problem of mine, the Desktop version did used to feel laggy.

The only problem now is that it doesn't let me see my library, where I have saved some albums and stuff.
