NewPipe was failing me today, so I reverted back to the YouTube app. After the first ad (20 seconds), the app gave me a permanent blur.

    Maybe blur is just another benefit of cable-stayed bridges

    Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.

        To be fair the topic is very specific. There are not that many big channels that talk about engeneering, esspecially bridge engeneering. At least not that I know of.

      If you’re considering Nebula, I’d, personally, go for the lifetime subscription. It’s the better deal after 5 years.

        Better deal after 5 years, if they still exist and honor the lifetime subscription by the time 5 years have passed

          They can’t not honour the contract, can they? The only risk is their going bankrupt, which seems unlikely, given for how long they’ve existed already.

              Let me rephrase: It would be illegal for them to not honour their contract. Of course shitty companies may be shitty and reap lawsuits in return.

    if you want an app, revanced is good. it has the same UI of the normal YouTube app (minus whatever you don’t want, like ads or shorts or news etc, it’s one of the most customizable ones I’ve seen) and besides adblocking has sponsorblock and return dislike and stuff built in (optional ofc) you can still use new pipe for downloads when you press the in-app download button and I like that feature a lot.

    my other suggestion is Firefox + ublock origin. can never go wrong with the classics haha

    edit: revanced.app is the official site

        Here here. Just do a quick search on how to use it. Basically, download a YouTube APK on a browser and patch it in the app. That’s it.

            Sounds like you’re downloading the repo. Try this. Look for the app that ends with .apk and click it. It’ll download and then you can find it in your files app and install it from there.

              I got the Manager installed. I tried getting the YouTube apk from Auroa, but it gives a zip. Do I use the base apk for revanced? Or… how do I get an official YouTube apk?

                When you want to “patch” an app, you can click on it and it’ll take you to a browser page where you can download an apk for YouTube.

                  It tells me “download is not available at this time”. I can download from apk mirror, but would rather not download from a random source.
