YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
Ah, okay. Thanks. I can definitely patch an APK if I can get the stock APK. I’ve been using Newpipe for ages, but it would be nice to have access to my YouTube accounts while also not having ads.
You can’t use ReVanced on desktop. I was mostly being sarcastic and saying everyone would just start watching on their phones. But I do most of my YouTube viewing on mobile anyway, so if I started getting hit with this, this is literally what I would do.

Newpipe for me!
Newpipe x Sponsorblock fork is my go to.
Wait newpipe has a sponsorblock fork? literally the only reason I use revanced
Yep, here’s the github https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe
It’s on izzyondroid too so I’ve been using the Neo Store in favor of F-droid to update it.
You can add the IzzyOnDroid sources to F-Droid though? I get NewPipe w/ Sponsorblock updates through F-Droid super easy.
Yeah, I never got why they didn’t include that.
Is there anything like newpipe but for yt music?
newpipe does support youtube music
Ohh, it’s a small toggle only visible when searching by text. Completely missed it so far, thanks.

Hey, where do I find this? UBlock blocks the top links on DDG as “Badware risk”
Unfortunetly google is stupid and shows fake websites as the top result, with the official one beeing way down the search results.
The official website is revanced.app or the github.
Also note that the revanced team dosen’t distribite pre-patched APKs for copyright reasons. Instead you have to patch a stock APK yourself.

ReVanced in all its forms are a blessing.
Never heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch
For Desktop, you can use FreeTube
Only downside
Well thank you! I’ll look into it. Great timing 👍
You can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.
