There's ads on YouTube? /s
NewPipe and SmartTube have been good to me.
PipePipe if you want SponsorBlock too.
SponsorBlock,
DeArrow,
uBO Lite,
Untrap for YouTube, and
Shorts Blocker.
I don’t fuck around.
You can use Helium Browser if you want full uBlock Origin on Chromium.
I like freetube on desktop but they've had a rough time with the cat-and-mouse game YouTube plays with their backend
ReVanced tbh
Morphe, Revanced has a shit ass rogue developer and the fork is made by the people who left due to aforementioned rogue developer.
edit: and I'll throw my recommendation for flow out there. Material You, Local recommendations with no account needed, sponsorblock, no ads, and it has youtube music as well.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
TBH, I think the app looks ugly and the little jokes cycling during patching are obnoxious... Also, the settings don't seem to actually work properly on YT? It autoplays in the home screen even when that's disabled, for example.
IDK, I'll explore this a little more when I get some more time.
I do wonder what shit ass rogue developer you're referring to o.0 I haven't kept up with any ReVanced-related drama or anything.
I dont utilize any of the patcher tools myself anymore because I deleted my Google account long ago, so I only keep up for friends who aren't as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.
I can however share the reddit thread that I originally saw when people started pushing Morphe over Revanced
https://safereddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1q1we4e/the_revanced_situation_is_crazy_a_new_project/
The tl;dr is a bunch of the developers got upset that the maintainer acted like a shitty manager more than a FOSS project lead dev.
so I only keep up for friends who aren’t as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.
Fair enough.
On the thread: sheesh at least it's not some Nazi or other extreme thing... The dev is just kind of an asshole, it seems. To be honest, I've heard of enough open-source drama to expect some sort of power-tripping or entitled dev somewhere in every project.
Me just watching archived YouTube videos
Jesus, that’s like thinking shitheads on Facebook know more than scientists
Even if they weren’t all bots I wouldn’t trust skincare advice from Redditors
Reddit "users"

Doshdoshington
I see you are a person of the infinite factory
Lemmites try to act like an obsessive ex over Reddit challenge
First time seeing decino outside of my own YouTube list.
I want to remind everyone that Dosh can’t run from Pyanodon forever.
