YouTube Vanced shut down a year ago. I think it was quite popular for watching YouTube on Android. @newpipe looks like an interesting alternative.
Yattee is the best for iOS and the only option for iOS
@8MinuteEssay Thanks, luckily I don’t use iOS devices :)

@jumanjimanju What’s difficult with Revanced? Just reading their web page, https://revanced.io/, and it seems like it’s enough to install two different APK files (MicroG and Revanced)? (Haven’t tried myself though.)
What patches could that be, that you have found?

@jumanjimanju what patches are you referring to? I assume it’s enough with just Revanced (and MicroG). And then any patches are smaller forks that provide som extra?
Vanced had their own update manager. I guess Revanced doesn’t have that?
Opt for YouTube ReVanced, it’s always an option for your viewing needs-https://revancedyoutube.org/
@Millie11 thanks!
@fibonaccital @newpipe There is always YouTube ReVanced - https://revanced.io/
@chris1223 @newpipe This also looks interesting I think: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe It’s a fork of NewPipe which also has SponsorBlock implemented
@fibonaccital @newpipe YouTube ReVanced also has SponsorBlock. I like YouTube ReVanced because it’s just a patched YouTube app so it’s easy to know where everything is and looks just like it should.
@chris1223 @newpipe Yeah, I can see advantages with both of them.
On the one hand, I find it attractive with a standalone app that supports more platforms than YouTube. It’s open source, lightweight, and values privacy.
But as you say, it’s quite nice with the standard YouTube app, but just patched, so everything else remains the same. You can still log in, leave comments, access your YouTube playlists, you have your history on YouTube, YouTube’s recommendations, etc.
@fibonaccital @newpipe I have both installed and I use both of them for different things. It also helps if one of them quits working to have the other
@chris1223 @newpipe True, that’s smart!
I really like NewPipe, but a feature that I was really found in Vanced that NewPipe still struggles is playing videos on PIP mode. It crashes constantly and I never found a way to make it more reliable.
There’s ReVanced too
