Revanced can also patch ads out of TikTok and Instagram 👀
Doesn’t that leave TikTok rather empty?

Well a fast tutorial I can give is this.
-
Disable/remove updates for the default YouTube app
-
Download revanced from this site https://revanced.app/
-
Install revanced app and update anything necessary.
-
Download the recommended YouTube APK which is 18.23.35. Here is a link I used to get the APK. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-23-35-release/
-
Once that’s installed, go to the revanced app and go to the “patcher” menu.
-
Click “select an application” button and then click the “Storage” button you see on the bottom. Then find the youtube APK that you downloaded and click it.
-
You can now select the patches you’d want the app to have. You could just select “default” to have it patch the 52 or 57 things that most people care to change.
-
Now just click the patch button and it’ll hopefully not fail.
Hope that looks good formatted. I’m on my phone lol.
nah mabye I’d change the premium logo but not much
You should try and keep the sponsorblock patch added. You can just have it show a “skip” button on the sponsored ads in the videos and it’ll skip past it all. It’s a pretty useful thing to have. You get to also see the different marked spots on the scroll bar.
i meant from the default configuration from he one i downloaded via command line app

Nope. I use NewPipe but I also have YouTube Premium if I ever need it.
I use YouTube premium but I use ReVanced to get rid of all the sponsors.
I know what a VPN is I don’t need to be told about it every time I’m trying to watch a video.
No, I use newpipe.
I use newpipe too. But man it’s slow for me.
I don’t have that issue. I am on Android 13. What in particular is slow for you? Navigating the app itself, the search, loading the videos? Has it always been slow?
Loading the videos and buffering. It hasn’t always been slow. Seems to be recent.
Same, I started using ReVanced because of it.
No I don’t watch videos on mobile
The fork of the original vanced that I used broke so I switched to revanced.
Yes, I can’t live without it
Yeah, although, specifically I use ReVanced Manager to take care of patching.
Yes, absolute game changer. Can’t live without it. Use various videos to go to sleep to at night and the last thing I need is for ads that the original content creator didn’t even ask for that are 5x as loud as the video I have playing.
All the time. At this point I’m waiting to replace my second hand iPad with an Android tablet so I can achieve a truly optimal YT experience.
I would but my first gen iPad Air is too old for that, I think
Indeed
off topic: HOLY MOLY HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT USERNAME ON LEMY.LOL
Small instance.
but but its lemy.lol not lemy.bean
I wouldn’t use youtube anymore without it
Same
I would not use YT either without Smart Tube Next on my Shield TV lol.
YT premium can fuck off until they ad Sponsorblock… Which they will never do.
More people need to know about Smart Tube. Like sure my desktop computer is totally on ad lockdown but my tv isn’t connected to my computer so i was stuck with normal youtube on my amazon fire stick for the longest time until i had enough and went looking on my own. Never going back. Should work on most android smart tv devices.
