do you use revanced?

LanyrdSkynrd [he/him] · 2Y

Yes.

Also xManager, a similar tool for Spotify. I’d use revanced for YTmusic, but most people seem to use Spotify and it’s nice to be able to share playlists with friends.

@t0fr@lemmy.ca · 2Y

Yes, I can’t live without it

@Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf · 2Y

I’d love to continue using it but I’ve had issues with videos getting stuck in endless loading. So I have both revanced and the normal app installed

Sigilos · 2Y

I’ve been having a similar problem the last couple days, can’t seem to find a solution yet however.

@Mrduckrocks@lemmy.world · 2Y

Patch more recent supported youtube client it will fix the issue.

@Fizz@lemmy.nz · 2Y

No I don’t watch videos on mobile

TurboTurbo · 2Y

No, I use newpipe.

@WarmSoda@lemm.ee · 2Y

I use newpipe too. But man it’s slow for me.

TurboTurbo · 2Y

I don’t have that issue. I am on Android 13. What in particular is slow for you? Navigating the app itself, the search, loading the videos? Has it always been slow?

@WarmSoda@lemm.ee · 2Y

Loading the videos and buffering. It hasn’t always been slow. Seems to be recent.

R0cket_M00se · 2Y

Same, I started using ReVanced because of it.

@Shards@lemmy.world · 2Y

Firefox nightly has all the usual extentions (ublock, sponsor block, and yt enhanced) so these days I just use that (with NP for downloads)

@jason123santa@lemmy.jasonsanta.xyz · 2Y

The fork of the original vanced that I used broke so I switched to revanced.

Dennis · 2Y

I wouldn’t use youtube anymore without it

kratoz29 · 2Y

I would not use YT either without Smart Tube Next on my Shield TV lol.

YT premium can fuck off until they ad Sponsorblock… Which they will never do.

ninjakitty7 · edit-2 2Y

More people need to know about Smart Tube. Like sure my desktop computer is totally on ad lockdown but my tv isn’t connected to my computer so i was stuck with normal youtube on my amazon fire stick for the longest time until i had enough and went looking on my own. Never going back. Should work on most android smart tv devices.

@FlembleFabber@sh.itjust.works · 2Y

Same

Biofobico · 2Y

No. I use NewPipe x SponsorBlock. -Link

@pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2Y

use that too sometimes

@Bobert@sh.itjust.works · 2Y

Yes, absolute game changer. Can’t live without it. Use various videos to go to sleep to at night and the last thing I need is for ads that the original content creator didn’t even ask for that are 5x as loud as the video I have playing.

@somedaysoon@lemmy.world · edit-2 2Y

Yeah, although, specifically I use ReVanced Manager to take care of patching.

@lol@lemy.lol · 2Y

All the time. At this point I’m waiting to replace my second hand iPad with an Android tablet so I can achieve a truly optimal YT experience.

@pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2Y

off topic: HOLY MOLY HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT USERNAME ON LEMY.LOL

@lol@lemy.lol · 2Y

Small instance.

@pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2Y

but but its lemy.lol not lemy.bean

@wason@lemmy.ninja · 2Y

You can sideload uYou or uYou+ on the iPad

@lol@lemy.lol · 2Y

I would but my first gen iPad Air is too old for that, I think

@wason@lemmy.ninja · 2Y

Indeed

Anti Weeb Penguin · 2Y

No, i only use Newpipe Sponsorblock

@yoichi@lemm.ee · edit-2 2Y

I tried ReVanced but kept getting ads anyway, especially banner ads and ads in shorts so I went and bought Premium Family for me and my friends. Then I realised I needed SponsorBlock so now I have YouTube Premium + ReVanced (with the block ads patch disabled)

I am sure that the ReVanced group have probably fixed the issue and ads are properly blocked now but its so cheap in my country (especially Premium Family) that I don’t even think about it
