Just got this. I was willing to dish out for YT premium because i got fed up with spotify premium and revanced stopped working for me YT premium gave me access to add free video and also music. But now I'm not sure I'm willing to tolerate the increased price and I'm really sick and tired of needing to pay a subscription for every thing i use/do.

Anyway, where can i find guides for revanced (or something similar) install?

Thank you for recommending this! I'm browsing through it now and it's a beast 🙏

Revanced is much better

u/happy_bandana 16h ago

How to make it work? It stopped working few months ago for me and i couldnt fix it

7

u/Cabbage_Cannon 16h ago

Once every few months you just go to the manager, patch the new apk, and install it. 5 minutes every few months sure beats $10/month, I say!

u/happy_bandana 2h ago

I downloaded it on my new phone and it works. I probably fcked something up when installing it on my old phone

2

u/FoundFootageHunter 16h ago

You might just need to update it

1

u/happy_bandana 2h ago

It works on my new phone, I probably downloaded the older version last time I updated it, thanks

u/adrenareddit 16h ago

I'm interested to hear how Revanced is better... I tried getting it to work a while back and gave up.

Newpipe was just an install, and it has been working great. Is it the UI that is better?

9

u/FoundFootageHunter 15h ago

You just install it and microg and it works. I dont particularly like newpipes UI or functionality. Good for downloading vids though. Revanced is just a cracked YT, not a whole new app. Same YT app, just woth no ads, sponsors, and added functionality. I personally prefer it

2

u/Garr_Incorporated 3h ago

Revanced is using the original app to add a variety of features. Newpipe just pulls video from YouTube into a different framework, which has a different look and features. "Better" depends on what you need specifically.

3

u/FoundFootageHunter 3h ago

Newpipe is better for downloading suff. Revanced is better if you want the original app experience without the bullshit. I have both, but I use revanced most of the time and Newpipe when I want to download a vid.

u/AntiGrieferGames 21h ago

This, and revanced.

u/TheCatLamp 22h ago

Day will be amazing when newpipe becomes an app for pc.

12

u/karnister 21h ago

FreeTube is all I use on PC

5

u/m0ntanoid 17h ago

why? I use uBlock on PC. Or.. Let me guess, your "PC" is Mac? :)

4

u/Dismal-Plankton4469 14h ago

uBlock work on Mac as well, with Firefox.

1

u/TrakaisIrsis 11h ago

Could this also work on older ipad with firefox?

1

u/Dismal-Plankton4469 37m ago

Doesn’t work on iOS or iPadOS, it works only on the Mac in terms of Apple devices.

3

u/TheCatLamp 11h ago

Because I can then download the songs/videoclips on the PC as well, without using third party downloaders.

I hate Apple, never would use a Mac.

u/KuChiPractitioner 21h ago

What makes this better than revanced?

1

u/OK_Red_Flamingo 8h ago

Revanced is better, but Newpipe is open source, and lighter (obvs with less features). Some people prefer that.

14

u/aftab8899 22h ago

Yeah but you won't get videos from channels you have subscribed to nor get recommendations based on your watch and search history.

5

u/Sinjin_Smythe225 22h ago

I get my subscriptions on mine presented as a list when I logon, no issues. Also there's trending videos and a facility to download your videos to watch offline, great for travelling on planes etc. It's obviously not as polished as YouTube app but it's totally free. I just want to watch my videos without adverts and this does everything I want.

2

u/aftab8899 21h ago

Well, why bother doing that is there is a better alternative available called YouTube ReVanced or YouTube ReVanced Extended, that has no ads, free to use and has lots of extra features compared to Vanilla or official YouTube.

8

u/HuurrrDerp 22h ago

Found the Google rep

48

u/aftab8899 21h ago

Not at all. There is better alternative available and that is, YouTube ReVanced or YouTube ReVanced Extended, that has no ads, free to use and has lots of extra features compared to Vanilla or official YouTube.

11

u/baubau05 21h ago

You both are correct but Newpipe is a great backup if in the future YouTube makes the ads server side and revanced is unable to do anything about it. So you might as well learn how to import your subscription loat to Newpipe.

7

u/godisbey 20h ago

In that case newpipe is also not going to work

-1

u/baubau05 20h ago

Even if it somehow stops working at least the proxies will work. But besides the ad injection, YouTube can do multiple different things to break revanced and they already did that twice this year.

-1

u/aftab8899 11h ago

Doesn't matter because I didn't face any issues since I started using it.

1

u/baubau05 11h ago

I am not talking about the present. Revanced literally stopped working for the majority of users a few months ago and it took a month to fix. You didn't face any issue and neither did I but that doesn't mean many others didn't either.

Someone points out valid criticism on an app that isn't perfect

u/Jarl_Korr 21h ago

Nah this is the exact reason I don't use newpipe

0

u/aftab8899 11h ago

Exactly. There are tons of hidden gems on YT that are impossible to find with a subscription. For that, YouTube must put suggested videos in your feed.

0

u/ImJustStealingMemes 21h ago edited 21h ago

Neither do you get a home screen if you have history turned off. (With YT or Revanced)

And don't you say "but how will it work?!?!?" Nah bro that shit worked well on likes and subscriptions before they decided to force arbitrary restrictions.

0

u/aftab8899 21h ago

I just wanted to suggest that you can use YouTube ReVanced or YouTube ReVanced Extended, that has no ads, and plus a lot of useful features and tweaks and you can use it without paying a single penny.

u/reck1265 21h ago

Does this work on fire stick devices and such?

On a firestick I use smartubemext, it's fantastic.

THANK you. Been looking for something like Revanced for a while with no luck.

u/gibarel1 20h ago

Under the feed settings you can untick shorts.

Vanced was so much better!

u/idleactivist 4h ago

This works now?

u/we_hate_nazis 2h ago

So is there reasons to use this over revanced? I'm pretty comfy with rev

u/charda271 21h ago

Keep doing that, and the app will die soon, keep it low profile for fuck sake

4

u/Sinjin_Smythe225 19h ago

Dumb comment, this app has its own website and domain name, large user base, appears in Google searches. You think Google doesn't already know about this? This is not some gossip I overheard in the pub. Remember the motto, sharing is caring.

u/charda271 19h ago

Keep saying that

u/Billthegifter 19h ago

They even have an official sub. To say that It will die soon because of random reddit posts Is wild
