YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

After they killed YouTube Vanced, I switched to New Pipe and never looked back
For those wondering, ReVanced launcher short after that and is even better than Vanced.
Long time NewPipe user here, have you tried FreeTube?
No, I've never even heard of this. Is it better than NewPipe?
It is faster, doesn't crash and you can read the answers to all comments. It lacks some features of NewPipe like the display dimming via swipe, but has some UI advantages (sharing without timestamp, you pain in the ass!).
New version of newpipe can already do that tho, glad that these projects are giving each other inspiration to work on the features that user want, unlike certain company
The API feels faster for me than newpipe but its a PWA. pewpipe's UI is native to android, feels easier to use.
