    I thought Newpipe stopped working a long time ago. I could never get it to work. Time to give it another try. If it wasn’t for Google blocking the site, I would have forgotten about Newpipe :-D

      Works fine, but I often have to go to the website to get the latest update. F-Droid takes a while to catch up.

        That could have been the prob before. Well I’m back on with all my subscriptions. YouTube is bearable!

          Don’t forget that NewPipe × SponsorBlock is a fork that adds SponsorBlock. Also there’s ReVanced to make YouTube bearable while still having access to your curated feed.

            If you can find a copy, the original Vanced app still works great too. I never switched from it when the project died.

              ReVanced is so much better. It can even block Reddit ads.

                Vanced blocks YT ads and has sponsor block.

                I no longer use Reddit, but Boost swaps reddits ads for banner ads that Pihole blocks. (boost also still works perfectly as long as your account has been a mod at some point, even just a creating a quick test sub and leaving it.)

                With a self-hosted vpn keeping my phone behind Pihole, The only place I ever see ads is the Twitch app, but I really don’t watch that much so 🤷. I spend far more time on yt.

                Been waiting till I need a new phone to explore ReVanced (as I don’t have an apk for Vanced, just the currently installed version). Just haven’t had any need for it yet.

            I find it easy to browse with the YouTube app, but when I find a video, tap share then Newpipe Sponsorblock.

            Still get the curated feed that way.

          Hey thanks for that! I’ve added the url and when I search for newpipe I get newpipe and legacy, but how do I know which repo fdroid is pulling these from? I don’t see anything in the interface that tells me it’s the right one. It says last updated 3 months ago for newpipe, does that sound right?

            Yeah. It’s been a bit since the last update, but when they start doing rapid updates to fix something you’ll know you got the right one.
