      For Android:

      Newpipe or Tubular (Newpipe X Sponsorblock fork)

      VueTube (still under development, the team is working slow because it’s pretty small, they have a few time to spend on it and they need devs, it’s a complete FOSS alternative to Vanced, and will have most of its features including optional Google log in with interactions)

      If you need to login and have a full YouTube experience: Revancedapp

          I tried it and I still prefer Newpipe, but it’s cool to have a lot of alternatives for everyone!

        Newpipe is perfect for me, been using it for months, now when I want to watch a video, I don’t wind up watching whatever, I have a more purposeful experience.

          Yes, Newpipe works great, I use both because I want to interact with my favorite creators and share my history and lists with the PC so I’m forced to log in, so the best option for that is a patched YouTube app like revanced (I used to use vanced until a few months ago when they definitely killed it).

          I haven’t tried it, but it’s cool there are more alternatives.

      No revanced? I’ve been using it since vanced broke with an older update and it’s been working great for me

      Thank you! Is Invidious going anywhere? I saw something about a DMCA takedown from YouTube.

        I’d be surprised if Google completely stamped it out. They’re on Codeberg now, so that’ll make takedowns trickier. It’s also distributed, so taking down the Invidious websites is virtually impossible.

        Also, while Google probably has pretty good lawyers, I’m not sure how well they’ll stand up if they go to court.

          The official reason they gave for the takedown is also false. They claimed that invidious is using the youtube api without permission, which it isn’t.
