    You should be able to uninstall it using adb commands, if you’re willing to give it a try.

    Else, Newpipe is really neat. Background playback, no ads, sponsored segments automatically skipped.

    It’s basically youtube premium plus extra features.

            Yep, I’ve been with this fork as well ever since they started. It’s so blissful to experience just the pure video…
