    ReVanced is definitely worth mentioning, but I’m here to tell you that GrayJay is better.

      GrayJay is a YouTube/Twitch/anything update away from breaking.

          ReVanced doesn’t use the YouTube app/website, it modifies the YouTube apk into a completely different thing. The only thing that can break ReVanced is server side changes from YouTube.

            And does something make you think that Google isn’t capable of doing exactly that?

            They’re updating server-side rules constantly. And EVERY app update is also accompanied by a server-side update, even if it’s small.

              Ah but there’s the catch, ReVanced just depends on server side YouTube changes.

              Meanwhile, GrayJay depends on app-side & server side YouTube, Twitch, etc etc.

                Lol no, ReVanced also depends on app side changes, they could harden the YouTube app and make it more difficult to modify. The only upside is that it would take several months for those changes to actually start affecting users, when the old versions of YouTube are phased out.

                OR, they could just block ReVanced on the server side and ban everyone that uses it, if they wanted to

                Don’t be naive and think that Google can’t easily block ReVanced. They just haven’t tried to yet. They’re one of the biggest companies in the world, if they gave a shit it would be gone overnight, just like Vanced was.
