          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.

            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.

        For Desktop, you can use FreeTube

        • Private viewing by default
        • Supports all platforms (Yey Linux)
        • No ads
        • Can create seperate profiles (Helps me with productivity)
        • Download the video is required

        Only downside

        • Can’t comment on the videos

              Oh more options, thanks! Would you know if watching videos through any of these adds to the official video watch count? It would be nice to still contribute to the engagement metrics for some of the desktop content I watch

        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.
