I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google.

Yes, I use that on my Android tablet.
I can still use PocketTube to generate a group playlist, then tell it to open that list in Revanced and it works even better with the included SponsorBlock etc.
So I have a option on both platforms that starts with PocketTube as a playlist launcher, with the iOS side restricted to only adblocking. Which is fine for me, because I rarely watch vids on my phone.
And the only place I’m logged in anywhere is in PocketTube.
edit: although I got Revanced from revanced.app… not sure if there’s a difference
hmmm… looks like I did the DIY method with revanced.app using an older YT version, and revanced.net is an updated oob package. Maybe I’ll update.
edit2: correction: I’m logged into my account on a different web browser entirely, in case I want to subscribe to a channel or whatever
No don’t! revanced.app is the only official site
@Automated_Footprint
@mateomaui so what did I just installed? I went for the “Revanced Youtube Extended” I guess.
Neither Revanced nor Revanced extended will give you premade Youtube APKs. You have to use one of their methods (manager app or from pc) and build it yourself. That’s how they get away from takedowns.
@Automated_Footprint uh its a perbuild apk…? I use it myself. https://github.com/revancedapps/revanced.net/releases/download/2023-46/revanced.net_revanced_youtube_v18.38.44.apk
Again you also need microg: https://github.com/revancedapps/revanced.net/releases/download/2023-36/revanced.net_revanced_microg_v0.2.28.233217.apk. And no, the manager is not required.
@mateomaui
Not the correct GitHub page. These people say that they offer clean builds but we never know
https://github.com/ReVanced
@Automated_Footprint
@mateomaui You are right, I need to pay more attention.
Thank you! Was still debating it, do you know what’s up with that other site?
Don’t know maybe they modify the app with malware. Better avoid
