Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button

  Huh. My solution (for years now) has been to kill the YouTube ap entirely and watch videos on Firefox with uBlock Origin.

  I may have to see if Revanced is a better experience.

    Used to do that but recently switched over to ReVanced because Firefox pip would just show the corner of the webpage sometimes, or when I go to fullscreen the app would close, so I’d have to go back on Firefox again and fullscreen twice because the first time I fullscreen it doesn’t auto-rotate

  If you don’t want to deal with that, NewPipe is pretty good. I’ve been using it for a bit and love it.

  Can be found on f-droid or from their website

    apks are not the best idea even from trusted sites. There’s probably a telegram link for it. I use the extended version which has some extra goodies: t.me/s/revanced_extended

      Don’t trust some random site to download apks from, anyway, here’s my random telegram channel, use that…

      That has to be trolling

  Personally I use revanced extended from GitHub. It’s got additional options and they release an APK, so I just download and install

  If your rooted you can use magisk and just hunt down the revanced magisk zip.

  Alternatively I use Newpipe and testing Grayjay.

    BTW if you can only find the magisk apk rename the apk to .zip and you can fastboot flash to boot.
