      Is there a reason people go through all these steps for patching YouTube when you could just use NewPipe or LibreTube to browse YouTube without any ads, with background play, ability to download videos, and so on?

        I prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

        I tried Newpipe but I honestly didnt get on with it, I’m much too used to the stock UI of YouTube, I also like having an account that let’s me interact with others (commenting, liking etc). Plus Revanced has native Sponcerblock and RYD support. At the end of the day its to each of their own, but I much prefer it over the others.

        I use Libreube but I can understand that people would rather use a stock YouTube patch. You can’t like or comment on anything that doesn’t require a YouTube account for example and I get why that’d be a deal-breaker for some.

      Revanced had a lot of ads so I deleted it. This is also a new or continued YouTube vanced by someone else

          There was an adblocker in videos yes, but on homescreen there were ads in between scrolling. And it had other issues like video infinite buffering etc

        I mean if it works, only thing is you have to trust the person that’s continuing it. Hopefully its open source and code is scrutinized.
