        If you’re on android I’d recommend viewing youtube videos through newpipe as it strips out everything except for the stream. Only downside is that it doesn’t have replacement functionality for sponsorblock.

            Do you have microg integration set up? Usually the root cause of issues when something there is broken from my experience, assuming you have stable from the official revanced manager.

          Newpipe > revanced IMO. Newpipe also supports a few other media streaming services outside of youtube, and when stuff breaks due to google interference they usually have a fix out within a few days.

            The problem with NewPipe is that it breaks the YouTube experience. ReVanced lets you use your YouTube account to get all the normal YouTube functionality such as liking and commenting, viewing your subscriptions (including syncing if you make a change) and, most importantly, syncing playlists such as the Watch Later playlist.

            I’ve only had ReVanced break once since I started using it, way back when Vanced first died. So I don’t consider the “stuff breaks” element to be especially relevant.

              Yeah that’s a fair point. I use newpipe specifically to get away from the youtube experience and keep only the videos. Newpipe does let you create local playlists and subscriptions that live only in the app, which I do utilize a bit.
