Not sure why anyone would rather pay Google money vs simply installing YouTube revanced. If that ever goes away (it won’t), then I’ll just go back to Firefox + extensions for YouTube on mobile.
I have an account I bought from an Indian friend for around $20/y, and the only way I use it is for my TVs. They are “smart”, but not android-based, causing me to not be able to install smartube or the likes.
Fair enough. If you happen to have an LG like I do, I recently learned this trick to install ad-free YouTube. Worked like a charm.

I just skipped that and went straight for firefox with ublock. It’s not as good of an experience but I thought fuck it. Youtube’s going to fight these app solutions every time, but they probably can’t make Mozilla remove extensions. Plus I don’t have to be worried about logging my google account (even a burner) into an unknown dev’s app vs mozilla who I trust more.
That’s a good point! I had trouble sometimes getting background audio to work after closing the app, but this was over a year ago at this point before I switched to vanced (and ultimately revanced). There is probably a fix for that by now.
Yes, I can’t live without it
all the time
Yeah, although, specifically I use ReVanced Manager to take care of patching.
Question as a newbie with revanced, can I log in or will that get my account banned ?
I’ve been using revanced since it came out and vanced for years until it died. I haven’t had any issues with my account at any point using either app.
I’ve been logged in on two different accounts for years and haven’t noticed anything. It uses microg to handle the login stuff and I haven’t heard of any issues like that happening with others either.
yes :) but i should use newpipe
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.

Firefox nightly has all the usual extentions (ublock, sponsor block, and yt enhanced) so these days I just use that (with NP for downloads)
No, I just use Firefox + Ublock Origin
Douglas Adams would be proud of your username. Or maybe horrified. Not sure.
A little of both I’d hope.
I did but more and more videos don’t play anymore.
Have you tried getting a more updated APK and repatching it? I haven’t had any issues for several months after doing that. ReVanced Manager should tell which version to get.
No, i only use Newpipe Sponsorblock
yes
Yep i use revanced on my phone and smart tube on my firestick
Yes. For YouTube and infinity for reddit
