YouTube on Fire TV in Firefox or Silk Browser

Earlier this month, when you would launch the YouTube app on Fire TV or Echo Show, you would see the following message indicating that the change wouldn’t take place until January 1st.

If you haven’t installed either one, you’ll be brought to the app store to download.The experience is annoying and clunky at best. Each time you want to use the YouTube app, you will see the message above and need to pick the browser to open it with. The first time you choose either browser, you will also need to sign into your account (annoying if you have multiple accounts) on a separate device to see your playlists and recommendations. What is your take on this ongoing spat between the two companies? What do you think about the experience of using the web version instead of the app?
