No mom, it's not what you think. I just googled hot, spicy chicks; I was hungry you see; to get a delicious recipe and suddenly backdoor bros 5 started playing. It must be a virus.
Fortunately there's this great application that can help

UC Browser is the most popular Android web browser in China and India. It claims to have a “fast mode” that’ll save you MBs of data usage thanks to compression.
Why it’s bad? Tracking. Users’ search queries are sent without encryption to Yahoo India and Google, a user’s IMSI number, IMEI number, Android ID, and Wi-Fi MAC address are sent without encryption to Umeng (an Alibaba analytics tool), and users’ geolocation data (including longitude/latitude and street name) is transmitted without encryption to AMAP (an Alibaba mapping tool).
More Chinese garbage to avoid like a pest.

Install uc browser. Then click on the download link and choose "save to cloud". The file will be downloaded to its server. It will take some time as the download speed given by sammobile is very slow. Then you can download it to your phone without any network restrictions.
I recently used that Uc and Maxthon browser and got shocked, they are really fast and smooth.
When we go back in WebView, we call WebView.goBack() method but I guess they are not using this. Because page is not reloading.
Anyone have idea? Thanks.

Never give up on your dreams!
Yup. this one. and every other app from this developer.
It has ads, bloatware,by default when you open the app for the first time it has different bloat section. UC news & other tabs like 'hot videos' section. It had some issues related to user privacy. It was leaking user data & also IMEI number. Check this.. While asking permissions & shows a pop-up which says. "We respect your privacy." Can't trust this Chinese companies.
Not just UC browser, Other browsers from crappy Chinese developers/companies like Apus , Cheetah mobile & their other apps like launcher, booster, cleaner, lockscreen & other apps.
Here is a screenshot of permissions from apus browser. They are asking phone permission to read Call log & reroute outgoing calls. Did you see that flag on app logo? It's a flag of India. You will ask, Why are they using it? The answer is, Just to fool indian users & to make them feel that It's an Indian app/app by indian company. Outside of china It has users in India. They did some monetization partnership with Indian ad company 'InMobi'. And now they are using indian flag to play emotional cards. Normal users don't know about it. They don't even have any time to verify the facts.
>In September 2015, InMobi entered a monetization partnership with China-based APUS group, which allows users to customize their android screens. The partnership provides the company access to an estimated 500 million users in China as well as exclusive access to all APUS users in India.
When you click install button on this app. It asks all the permission at that time. It doesn't follow marshmallow permission guideline. Instead of asking it when user opens the app. It asks when users install the app. Normal users won't bother to disable unnecessary permissions after installing the app.
They just want to get user data. And they want to sell ads. They are just bad version of Google. There are so many good free browsers with no ads, no extra permissions. It's a sad thing that instead of using genuine browser, Normal users are using this crap apps even if they contain ads.

Thank a lot u/OgreVorbis ! It worked for me today 👍 Your comment should be pinned everywhere! lol
For anyone else who might find/read this in the future. Here's what I did:
{"google.com, youtube.com, webbrowsertools.com": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0"}
So in the end, if you see "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0", then your configuration works and you can now login to Youtube and try to comment on a video.
If you still cannot post comments on the videos, then repeat the whole procedure from step 1) using this other user-agent instead:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 UBrowser/7.0.185.1002 Safari/537.36
^ It's the user-agent for a mobile browser but browsing to youtube.com with Waterfox will display the website like normal on desktop. Indeed, during some previous tests, I had successfully managed to post comments with this user-agent as well, so it could be useful to know about it.
​
Man... for weeks, I was not able to post any comments on Palemoon (my main browser for years) neither on Opera GX, neither on SRWare Iron (Chromium browser). Like thousands of other Youtube users like us, I thought I had been "ghost-banned" or something because I could post comments without any problem using another Youtube account in Opera GX :D Now I'm back and finally able to comment like I used to. But I'm really pissed at Google/Youtube. Also, their new cookie format is currently crashing SRWare Iron each time you try to open a Youtube page... Meanwhile, I've recently discovered the world of Invictious so yeah... maybe I will switch there in the future, idk. I'm pissed about their algorithms and about the fact they're removing the number of Dislikes on videos.

Here's UC Browser if anyone is actually interested:

UC Browser has that. There are probably other similar browsers with options to select how you want to see websites.

I've been using UC Browser for my social media needs, but I'll definitely check these out!
my favorite one is UC Browser, i'm always trying out browsers but I always end up coming back to UC.
Pros: adblock, fast, has themes, renders pages the best out of all I have tried, it has text reflow, zooming pages is great, can use one handed easily since you can swipe the bar at the bottom to change tabs
Cons: it's Chinese and there's some people who don't like that, there's also the first page you open is the recommended sites that's garbage but swiping to the left to the speed dial automatically is second nature now
idk what else to say
