Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app? angielski

app that registers as a YouTube endpoint,

I don’t know what you mean, but LibreTube is using the Piped API. Though from my experience, NewPipe is more reliable on mobile.

newpipe’s been crashing a lot on my phone, my sibling’s phone and my tv recently, libretube hasn’t

Newpipe is pretty much rock solid. It’s subjectively better than the Vanced

Libretube is what you are looking for. It uses piped api. It’s also available on F-droid.

Newpipe or Newpipe X Sponsorblock is also a good option.

Newpipe X Sponsorblock

Wow, this is great. Are there any downsides of using this vs using regular NewPipe? Like updates delays etc.?

Quereller, rok temu

Delay is usually 1-2 days. You can have both installed in parallel.

I don't bother with an app. I have found that FF with ublock works best for me on Android.

You need ReVanced app, that’s new incarnation of Vanced app that ceased to work

Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.

Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.

Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don’t trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)

Revanced instructions (official Youtube app, but with adblocking, sponsorblock and other nice improvements).

1. Uninstall Youtube (or disable if not possible)
2. github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases
3. Install
4. Open, go to “Patcher”, find “Youtube” and download the specified recommended version from www.apkmirror.com
5. Patch it, install it.
6. Install MicroG if you want to use your Google account with it: github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG/releases
7. Launch your installed youtube app. You will need to login from within the app if you are using MicroG.

I thought I read someone was providing “clean” patched APKs now?

WindowsEnjoyer, rok temu

Google might go after pathed apks, but you can’t go after patches (which isn’t apk).

Libretube works off piped servers and has multiple instances listed ready for use. It includes Sponsorblock and has a beautiful UI. It’s slightly buggy sometimes but if you can deal with that it’s the best.

New Pipe unofficial fork with Sponsor Block if you want to skip ads

Ganbat, rok temu

NewPipe, NewPipe + Sponsorblock, PipePipe and LibreTube are pretty much all of them.

I am amazed why no one has said Clipious.

It uses Invidious instances, and if you enable the proxy option, Google won’t even get to know your IP address, which is not the case with apps like LibreTube and NewPipe.

kzhe, rok temu

Clipious for Invidious based, but it’s not as good as Libretube Newpipe for Piped, but it’s direct and reveals your IP to YT and has bad UI Libretube for Piped, but it’s a bit buggy at times.

ADHDefy, rok temu

Newpipe + Sponsorblock is a really good option.

Hazard, rok temu

This is what I use. Great once you’ve properly customized it.

If you wanna use Piped with a slick Android UI for privacy, use LibreTube. It’s a native client for Android that uses a Piped instance of your choice (e.g piped.video or piped.smnz.de).
