    Works fine, but I often have to go to the website to get the latest update. F-Droid takes a while to catch up.

      That could have been the prob before. Well I’m back on with all my subscriptions. YouTube is bearable!

        Don’t forget that NewPipe × SponsorBlock is a fork that adds SponsorBlock. Also there’s ReVanced to make YouTube bearable while still having access to your curated feed.

          If you can find a copy, the original Vanced app still works great too. I never switched from it when the project died.

              Vanced blocks YT ads and has sponsor block.

              I no longer use Reddit, but Boost swaps reddits ads for banner ads that Pihole blocks. (boost also still works perfectly as long as your account has been a mod at some point, even just a creating a quick test sub and leaving it.)

              With a self-hosted vpn keeping my phone behind Pihole, The only place I ever see ads is the Twitch app, but I really don’t watch that much so 🤷. I spend far more time on yt.

              Been waiting till I need a new phone to explore ReVanced (as I don’t have an apk for Vanced, just the currently installed version). Just haven’t had any need for it yet.

        Hey thanks for that! I’ve added the url and when I search for newpipe I get newpipe and legacy, but how do I know which repo fdroid is pulling these from? I don’t see anything in the interface that tells me it’s the right one. It says last updated 3 months ago for newpipe, does that sound right?

          Yeah. It’s been a bit since the last update, but when they start doing rapid updates to fix something you’ll know you got the right one.
