YouTube Vanced got replaced by Revanced BTW, different team and not just an app you just download, you have to patch YouTube yourself, (similar to xmanager) but that isn’t not too hard. The YouTube Revanced’s Official discord can be found here
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 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.
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.

You can log in to ReVanced.
I prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

try libretube
Can’t login to a google account on Libretube or Newpipe, a requirement for me
That’s… The appeal lol. You can subscribe and stuff but your data remains with you. But i get why that turns many people off
Newpipe and Libretube work out of the box on fdroid.
I’m using libretube
Revanced had a lot of ads so I deleted it. This is also a new or continued YouTube vanced by someone else
What do you mean ads lol, there are no ads
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 think that issue is fixed now
Yeah that got fixed a while back, and I also dont see home screen ads
Oh. I’ve never seen any ads while scrolling. The buffering does happen to me sometimes though, and it is annoying.
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.
