I used to use PipePipe but I constantly have issues with it, and it entirely stopped working months ago, so I’m looking for an alternative.

I’m new to dbzer0, please forgive me if !piracy is not the right community for this topic, and kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. Thanks 🌼

      I’m not gp but I also prefer the app for several reason, like being able to cast to the smart tube TV app which is also ad free and has sponsorblock, and for small UX things like certain gestures, like I can pull down on a video to go to theater mode whereas in the browser it refreshes the video page, and I like that the transitions between views don’t have a brief white screen but has a seamless transition that expands a videos thumbnail into the video view.

      Otherwise the UI of ReVanced is basically identical, but both are ad free and have sponsorblock / return dislike but ReVanced feels smoother to use and there’s lots of customizable ReVanced settings in the app for tweaking things like haptics, downloads, hiding and showing various components like endcards, info cards, quick actions and related videos, shorts, etc.

      Here’s a sample of all the options it has: https://imgur.com/a/gRdd5K0

      Just in my personal experience, I use IronFox with Mullvad, which YouTube flags and throws the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error whereas NewPipe, for example, typically works (I believe they have a workaround similar to yt-dlp that leverages the Android VR API).
