I used to use PipePipe but I constantly have issues with it, and it entirely stopped working months ago, so I’m looking for an alternative.

I’m new to dbzer0, please forgive me if !piracy is not the right community for this topic, and kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. Thanks 🌼

      IMO browser is superior. What do you feel is better in an app?

        Just in my personal experience, I use IronFox with Mullvad, which YouTube flags and throws the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error whereas NewPipe, for example, typically works (I believe they have a workaround similar to yt-dlp that leverages the Android VR API).

        I’m not gp but I also prefer the app for several reason, like being able to cast to the smart tube TV app which is also ad free and has sponsorblock, and for small UX things like certain gestures, like I can pull down on a video to go to theater mode whereas in the browser it refreshes the video page, and I like that the transitions between views don’t have a brief white screen but has a seamless transition that expands a videos thumbnail into the video view.

        Otherwise the UI of ReVanced is basically identical, but both are ad free and have sponsorblock / return dislike but ReVanced feels smoother to use and there’s lots of customizable ReVanced settings in the app for tweaking things like haptics, downloads, hiding and showing various components like endcards, info cards, quick actions and related videos, shorts, etc.

        Here’s a sample of all the options it has: https://imgur.com/a/gRdd5K0

    YouTube Morphe. It’s the new revanced fork after they had some drama. IIRC most ReVanced devs are working on Morphe now.

      Same here. It’s daily updates that work perfectly and constantly improve UI/UX. Revanced is like a broken down Ford now who knows if it’ll start or work.

        i don’t really know honestly. some personal disagreements between the leader and other developers.

        from my experience, when most devs leave because of the leader, they are usually in the right. but i didn’t investigate it much.

      Just downloaded it and it works, thanks!

      I just read up a bit and realized that PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe. In other words: NewPipe is the original 🤯

      PipePipe’s GitHub page says

      Making a hard fork allows us to effectively address issues with quick fixes and maintain frequent feature updates

      It’s ironic that PipePipe was forked to adress quick fixes, and not it appears to not work at all (for me) while the original NewPipe does work.

      I’ve also been using Re-Vanced and NewPipe for a very long time, and seeing this comment section I wonder, why have they fallen out of (relative) popularity?

    pipepipe, currently working great for me. There are times it doesn’t but that’s YouTube’s fault, not the fault of newpipe or pipepipe.

    Though I wish they would fix the bug where it can’t handle me moving from ipv6-only mobile network to ipv4-only home internet, I have to quit the app and relaunch it and resume the video for it to actually bother trying to resolve DNS again

    Grayjay mainly. PipePipe which still works for me (check if yours is updated) to get individual RSS or channel links.

    I don’t watch YouTube on my phone anymore other than FireFox with uBlock. For me, it’s all a YT feed aggregated by RSS and played by MPV on Linux.
