Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps
viking@infosec.pub 9 months agoNever had any outage in SmartTube either, unless they pushed a faulty release (I’m on the beta channel), but even then they have reacted super fast with fixes.
So far I’m using NewPipe x Sponsorblock on my phone - apparently it has been discontinued & archived, but still works just fine as well. Only the comment view is broken since a couple weeks, but I really don’t care about those to begin with.

Nowadays I’m using tubular which is newpipe with sponsor block and youtube dislike incorporated.

Smart Tube in TV and Tubular on phone (plus Grayjay, but but I’m not fond of their UX).

Yeah, it kind of sucks, and the performance on my phone is worse than NewPipe, but I haven’t found anything else that combines feeds from other sources (Odysee, Nebula, etc), so I still use it.
There are also some missing features, like browsing channel playlists.

It has a ways to make it go, for sure. That UX reminds me of WinAmp way back in the day 🤣

Oh good to know, I wasn’t looking for alternatives as long as it still works, but that’s going to be the future then. Thanks!
