  On android youbshould try to go with youtube revanced, its a little tedious and time consuming to install but it is worth every single second.

    Nah I prefer Libretube.

    • Krachsterben@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m curious, what makes you prefer Libretube?

  NewPipe is another good option for android

  Yeah I just clicked X on their popup and went back to watching videos lol

    That is just the beginning of your warnings. Later there will be a countdown before the x appears, and eventually there will be no x to click. You need to use ublock origin (and non-Chromium browsers). Remember to purge cache and updage ublock origin.

  Another option on Android is NewPipe. Doesn’t look as nice as Libretube imo, but it goes to Youtube directly for content which is useful since public piped instances can be a bit unreliable or slow from time to time. (Also on Libretube you have to sign up and re-import your subscriptions whenever you switch instances which can be tedious)

    NewPipe is really good once you get the hang of it.

    You have to keep in mind that its development has temporarily slowed down a bit, so you won’t have many new features, such as being able to view Shorts and Livestreams tabs in a profile (can be overcome by browsing the profile via Invidious and sharing the page to NewPipe) but bugfixes are usually quick. AFAIK the slowdown is due to a rewrite/refactoring which will make NewPipe easier to develop and maintain and improve its UI.

  Revanced still pretty much works for me

  source
• MonsterHighStan@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I just tried libretube but it crashes every time I click on a video :(

  It's such a shame because I used to use newpipe all the time and I absolutely loved that, until it also stopped working

  • ailurophilly@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Did you install it from fdroid? There is a problem in fdroid version that crashes app when trying to play video. Its already fixed on github but fdroid is slow to update.

    • MonsterHighStan@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thank you!! Now it works perfectly :)

    • ailurophilly@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Its also available on IzzyOnDroid repo

    I think you need to update NewPipe.

    If you just installed the app from an apk file, try installing it from the F-Droid app instead, to keep on receiving new updates. Alternatively, you could add it to the Obtainium app (use the search bar when adding), since it supports GitHub, F-Droid and many more repositories.

    Revanced not an option?

    source
• Tick_Dracy@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  For iOS users, I highly recommend using Vinegar. 👌

• MonkderZweite@feddit.ch ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  NewPipe still works for me. But i see only crap, so i close it again.

    Never heard of it.

• sznio@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I use Firefox with uBO on Windows and it doesn’t help. I tried installing filters I found online but they don’t do shit.

  I’ll just install FreeTube.

  • Azzu@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s likely because you have some other addons/tracking protection/etc that blocks stuff or otherwise modifies how YouTube behaves. I had a YouTube enhancement addon installed, once I uninstalled that, everything got blocked properly again.

  • CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That’s odd. Were you using other YouTube add-ons?
