Been using NewPipe lately and went back to YouTube for the first time in a while.

I can't believe how crowded and awful the video lists have gotten. It's filled with YouTube tips, ads within lists, shorts, suggestions for games, and absolutely garbage video suggestions.

De-Google your life, it's so much better

NewPipe is an open source YouTube client for Android. I personally prefer LibreTube but either one is a lot better than using the official YouTube app.

I'm using Newpipe but haven't tried LibreTube. Interested to try it out. How come you prefer it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It routes your traffic through Piped instances rather than YouTube's servers. The main reason is probably just that I prefer LibreTube's UI.

Better than revanced?

I use NewPipe, it's a nice alternative but then I'm not a heavy YouTube user. How are they able to make it? I'm surprised YouTube would allow an app like this to exist.

Is it better than Grayjay?
