This "unnamed" method is a popular method used by many Taiwanese beginners when learning how to solve the Rubik's Cube blindfolded. In September 6th Taiwanese YouCuber '一小時學盲解' (Channel name) published a video called '最簡單盲解魔術方塊的解法 - 雙公式盲解教學 | 矇眼復原 3x3 魔方' (translates to: The easiest way to solve a rubik's cube blindfolded - Using only two algorithms tutorial | Solving a 3x3 Blindfolded ) that teaches this exact method. But it's not recommended because the solution is longer than Old Pochmann and also harder to learn than Old Pochmann.

Method

This method solves 1 piece at a time.

Corners

With the buffer located at UFR and the target position at UBR, a Jb-perm is used to swap the two pieces. Because this algorithm also alters the UF and UR edges, an odd number of swaps requires an extra Jb-perm at the end to resolve the parity.

Edges

Following the same concept as the corners, the buffer for edges is located at UR while the target position is at UL, with a T-perm used to swap the two pieces. Edge parity does not manifest during this phase because it is solved during the corner-solving process. Therefore, the execution of either an odd or even number of T-perms is acceptable, and an additional T-perm should not be performed at the end of edge-solving."
