So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.
I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷♂️
Quick someone post that 3rd party YouTube interface for Android. Preferably on F-Roids. I need it.
This is the Internet so let’s settle this quickly and efficiently.
NewPipe has been my go-to for years. Available on F-Droid with regular updates.
There’s a fork that has SponsorBlock integration, fyi. Get it on github and it requires manual updates but auto notifications. You can also use obtaimium to install it, and that will handle updates for you.
I thought NewPipe only worked with decentralized services? Does it work with YouTube proper?
There’s a few options
Newpipe, uses it’s own extractor, also can act as a player for SoundCloud and Peertube, there’s also a fork with SponsorBlock: https://newpipe.net/
Libretube, uses the Piped api, generally seen as the one with the best UI: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube
Clipious, uses the Invidious api: https://github.com/lamarios/clipious
Could also watch videos in a browser from an Invidious or Piped instance I guess
And while I’m at it I’ll also mention there’s a client option on desktop too, Freetube: https://freetubeapp.io/
piped.video ?
Is that a native app, or webapp? I thought there was a native app, in fact I know there is and it’s called Kuhmbus. Nobody can correct me because I’m right.
Isn’t vanced still around? Saw that alot in the past
I just got that it is called vanced because it is advanced without the ad…
Revanced now, but yes it works
