All I know is that after Vanced, Brave lets me watch YouTube on my phone without ads.
Do ReVanced instead.
When I try to set up revanced it tells me that it won’t work because I’ve got a split YouTube apk. It’s been super frustrating as vanced worked wonderfully for years.

Will look into a pihole setup now, thanks.
Reminder that the CEO of Brave supports banning same-sex marriage in the US.
