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.

    Maybe it’s a matter of personal taste by I prefer Smart Tube , which has imo more features and SponsorBlock integration.

    Plus it works on smart TVs

      Looks pretty good too! Hadn’t heard of it yet (probably because of social media monopolies hushing it), but will keep it in mind if issues arise with revanced. Though, as a heads up in case either gets taken down, revanced has recently added Sponsorblock support and I use it a lot.
