Amazon and Google settle feud, bring YouTube back to Fire TV devices

I think the bigger news here is amazon prime adding chromecast support. It’s a feature I’m looking forward to having, and have wanted for a while.<p>YouTube on fire tv devices hasn’t really been a problem (for me at least). They removed the native app but the web version seems very feature-complete to me, and works almost exactly as I assume the native app did. Its not really any more difficult to get to either.

I really hope this is a sign of a generally more grown-up attitude at some of the media&#x2F;tech companies.<p>All this dick-swinging just inconveniences users and pisses people off.<p>I&#x27;m hoping that Amazon and Now TV (Sky) eventually pull their heads out of their arses and release an app for the FireTV.

There is also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smartyoutubetv.github.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smartyoutubetv.github.io&#x2F;</a> which is a clone of the youtube app. It has been working fine on my FireTV since the feud started. Plus it blocks ads.

Great. I hate being forced to use it through a web browser on the FireTV devices I own.<p>Love the Chromecast support coming as well.

Any reason why AppleTV YouTube navigation using my iPhone Remote app is virtually unusable? Did Google do that on purpose?
