    For YouTube, I use ReVanced Extended, it has Sponsor Block, Return Dislikes Back and an Ad Block. (Btw it’s a fork of a fork)

      Honestly, setting up revanced seems a little too much work to me. So I use newpipe which I find much easier to set up.

          Fact is, I am lazy. Reading the long list of things to do to patch the app and to keep it updated put me off so I didn’t try.
