I don't know why you'd need to root in 2023. I'd stick to a secure custom OS instead that can have secure boot. Something like CalyxOS or GrapheneOS. Lineage or /e/ or something if you don't have a pixel.
Is there a disadvantage to ReVanced without root? Back in the Vanced days, I actually had less trouble with non-root on my OnePlus vs. rooted on my LG. I had to reinstall the rooted version every boot for some reason I never understood.
With root, YouTube URLs will open in the app by default. Without root, they won't. Otherwise, there's not a huge difference.
Weird, I've never needed root to make that happen. I used to just disable the built-in YouTube and then set Vanced as the URL handler for YouTube URLs, and then they'd open in Vanced. Maybe that doesn't work on every Android variant?
