I wouldn’t use youtube anymore without it
I would not use YT either without Smart Tube Next on my Shield TV lol.
YT premium can fuck off until they ad Sponsorblock… Which they will never do.
More people need to know about Smart Tube. Like sure my desktop computer is totally on ad lockdown but my tv isn’t connected to my computer so i was stuck with normal youtube on my amazon fire stick for the longest time until i had enough and went looking on my own. Never going back. Should work on most android smart tv devices.
Same
No, I use newpipe.
I use newpipe too. But man it’s slow for me.
I don’t have that issue. I am on Android 13. What in particular is slow for you? Navigating the app itself, the search, loading the videos? Has it always been slow?
Loading the videos and buffering. It hasn’t always been slow. Seems to be recent.
Yes, I can’t live without it
Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads
You can use a downloader like Seal and when you want to download a video just share it to Seal.
or use the external video downloader feature
I was a vanced migrant to newPipe when the former was cut off. Haven’t tried revanced since newPipe has seemed perfectly servicable for me.
No I use NewPipe
Yes, also
- Newpipe
- Libretube (another foss frontend similar to newpipe)
- YTDLnis (for downloading youtube video and music)
- Revanced YT Music/ Innertune/ ViMusic for Youtube music
use that too sometimes
Revanced can also patch ads out of TikTok and Instagram 👀
Doesn’t that leave TikTok rather empty?
deleted by creator
No, I just use Firefox + Ublock Origin
Douglas Adams would be proud of your username. Or maybe horrified. Not sure.
A little of both I’d hope.
Yes, absolute game changer. Can’t live without it. Use various videos to go to sleep to at night and the last thing I need is for ads that the original content creator didn’t even ask for that are 5x as loud as the video I have playing.
No, I’m using NewPipe
I use Clipious, an Android client for Invidious, on my phone. I selfhost my own Indivious instance so this is perfect in that my phone never connects to YouTube directly, and I can save all my subscriptions in one place without a YouTube account.
On my Android TV I use Smart Tube Next. If I really need to cast, I also have YouTube ReVanced on my phone for just that, but I barely use it.
As soon as Clipious gets a proper Android TV interface, I’ll be set, as both devices can just connect to Invidious and let it do all the work.
i have clipious installed too just barely use it
Yeah I specifically use Revanced Extended which adds more patches for YouTube and YouTube Music.
Nope. I use NewPipe but I also have YouTube Premium if I ever need it.
I use YouTube premium but I use ReVanced to get rid of all the sponsors.
I know what a VPN is I don’t need to be told about it every time I’m trying to watch a video.
