4 0 ReplyWait newpipe has a sponsorblock fork? literally the only reason I use revanced
4 0 ReplyYep, 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.
6 0 ReplyYou 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.

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
1 0 ReplyFor 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
3 0 ReplyWell thank you! I'll look into it. Great timing 👍
1 0 ReplyYou can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.

You can't use ReVanced on desktop. I was mostly being sarcastic and saying everyone would just start watching on their phones. But I do most of my YouTube viewing on mobile anyway, so if I started getting hit with this, this is literally what I would do.

ReVanced in all its forms are a blessing.
