Can I make mobile Safari open YouTube links in the browser?

YouTube has a pretty decent mobile website, however any link to YouTube I see on the web always opens the link in the YouTube app, not there in the browser.

Is there a way to change that? It would be nice not to have to keep switching apps all the time. I checked in Settings and couldn't see anything. Echofon actually does it in its built in browser so I'm sure it must be possible.

Solution 1:

Go to Settings > General > Restrictions and untick the Youtube button. After that Youtube links will open in Safari and the app icon will disappear from the home screen.

Solution 2:

You can also manipulate the URL to solve this problem.

By directing away from www and towards m, this video link shows what to change:

• normal link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMed79
• mobile link: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SMed79
