      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 prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

        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.

      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. You probably did something wrong or got it from the wrong source. I’m not sure there’s any credible Vanced source right now, revanced is probably your best bet

          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

            Oh. I’ve never seen any ads while scrolling. The buffering does happen to me sometimes though, and it is annoying.

      Newpipe and Libretube work out of the box on fdroid.
