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.

[–] Cat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Don't forget that NewPipe Γ— 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.

[–] NatoBoram@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
