This article feels like a large language model generated article.

TLDR: use a user agent switcher

Other advice: use Firefox from f Droid, or Mull and install U-Block origin. Use new pipe, or libretube to avoid ads as well

Well. Is it possible? Yes. Is it user friendly and optimized? Not really.

That's why it would be great to have native app.
