After google took down Vanced (a custom hacked youtube viewer with no ads and a ton of features), some people on github have made an even more robust and open version called ReVanced. Since the youtube monopoly implies we’re forced to use this shit platform anyways, what do y’all think of this tool for android phones?

Edit: I should’ve made it “Youtube alternative frontend appreciation thread” because y’all suggested many good ones I hadn’t heard of.

    I prefer newpipe to avoid youtube’s anti features like its recommendation feed and so on.

    Edit: also newpipe is free software

      I wasn’t aware newpipe was it’s own whole thing, I only used it so far as the download backend to revanced itself. Will check it out!
