A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Alternate headline: Users test using only YouTube ReVanced to bypass this new system

Hey, where do I find this? UBlock blocks the top links on DDG as "Badware risk"

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.

ReVanced in all its forms are a blessing.

Never heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

Well thank you! I'll look into it. Great timing 👍

You can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.

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

Newpipe x Sponsorblock fork is my go to.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait newpipe has a sponsorblock fork? literally the only reason I use revanced

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, here's the github https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe

It's on izzyondroid too so I've been using the Neo Store in favor of F-droid to update it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can add the IzzyOnDroid sources to F-Droid though? I get NewPipe w/ Sponsorblock updates through F-Droid super easy.

Is there anything like newpipe but for yt music? Ideally on fdroid, revanced is... confusing... to maintain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

newpipe does support youtube music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ohh, it's a small toggle only visible when searching by text. Completely missed it so far, thanks.
