hopefully they'll lay off the ads since so many users suddenly can't use ad blockers, but I don't think they will. uBlock origin still seems to work fine.
try piped or its android client libretube

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
