[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (9 children) How does it compare to Newpipe? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 37 points 2 years ago (6 children) ReVanced, in conjunction with MicroG, allows youto be logged in to Google while still having an ad block and sponsor block on mobile. Also setting up might be a little more difficult since it needs you to patch a YouTube apk yourself. I understands this might be the exact opposite of what some people want but it works for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] joyjoy@lemm.ee -36 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children) Ironic that Revanced, an app that claims to block YouTube ads, injects its own ads. Edit: I downloaded the wrong version. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Wappen@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago Maybe you have downloaded the wrong APK, there are some bad actors providing "pre built YouTube Revanced APKs". Be sure to only download the Revanced Manager from https://revanced.app/ and the unpatched YT APK (version should match the recommended one in the manager) from a trusted source like apkpure etc. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Does it actually?

Revanced actually uses Newpipe to offer downloads. Biggest difference is that you can log in with your YouTube account on Revanced. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago I did use to use Vanced but stuck with Newpipe as it was lighter (not tried Revanced as I switched before the shutdown). permalink fedilink source parent
