      I use qutebrowser, and even with userscripts and DNS blocking I can’t for sure reliably block all of google’s spyware and fingerprinting (and that’s not even mentioning how bloated the default webclient is). Also google looks like it’s pushing out server-side ads like twitch does, and using the browser client is playing in their ballpark.

          Invidious playback is unreliable in my experience, and 3rd party clients have the advantage of selecting from multiple invidious hosts, and falling back if one doesn’t work.

      As someone who’s (re) vanced stopped working today, one thing about using my browser instead was the inability to switch to a different app or lock my screen without pausing.

      I fucking hate that shit. Made solely so they could sell it as a “bonus feature” for subscribing to their pay service.

        While ssm’s concerns above probably still stand, you can use “Enhancer for YouTube” for background playback.

        Mhh thats weird, i actually downloaded revanced today because newpipe/tubular (and libretube, to some extend) stopped working. Runs without issue, though i still prefer newpipe, so im happy about these news

          I literally had the opposite experience lol. Just got NewPipe and it seems to work fine.

          Suck shit, Google.
