ReVanced
revanced.app
Continuing the legacy of Vanced.

After google took down Vanced (a custom hacked youtube viewer with no ads and a ton of features), some people on github have made an even more robust and open version called ReVanced. Since the youtube monopoly implies we’re forced to use this shit platform anyways, what do y’all think of this tool for android phones?

Edit: I should’ve made it “Youtube alternative frontend appreciation thread” because y’all suggested many good ones I hadn’t heard of.

    I’ve been struggling with it lately actually. For some reason it doesn’t really work on my phone. The videos will play the first minute at most, then stop loading. Regular YouTube doesn’t have that problem.

    Before that started though, I found ReVanced much better than the official app. Would recommend

      Yeah, it had some issues like that when I first patched it. I think Google rolls out some randomized changes that screw it up. When that bug popped up for me, videos would work fine on incognito mode. Maybe that could work for you too.
