After google took down Vanced (a custom hacked youtube viewer with no ads and a ton of features), some people on github have made an even more robust and open version called ReVanced. Since the youtube monopoly implies we’re forced to use this shit platform anyways, what do y’all think of this tool for android phones?
Edit: I should’ve made it “Youtube alternative frontend appreciation thread” because y’all suggested many good ones I hadn’t heard of.
I use it all the tim, works perfectly for me. Occasionally I’ll use NewPipe, but unfortunately I find the YouTube recommendation algorithm useful for finding things to watch (even leftist content) so I’ve been finding it difficult to switch fully.
Works well for me too.
I think I like the YouTube player, plus the playlists, and watch later. And the algorithm is okay to find new stuff.
