YouTube ReVanced vs NewPipe (lemmy.world)

I've seen many people talk about how they really like using YouTube ReVanced as their main way of watching YT on their phones.

I've also seen people talk about NewPipe aswell. Personally, I use NewPipe because I can't stand the YouTube app, and I don't want to set up ReVanced for it. I just want something that works.

So to you Lemmy users, which do you use and why? What is about your choice that you like?

I use FreeTube and NewPipe. But Google just broke them. Even yt-dlp needed to implement a JavaScript engine.

I'm using ReVanced in the meantime but I'm not enjoying it. It's good as a backup I suppose as it's better than using YouTube through a browser.

Here's my guide for installing ReVanced via obtainium, just incase it can be useful for someone

Edit: just used PipePipe for the first time. It works and seems like a better alternative than YouTube ReVanced to me.

Yep I like pipepipe because it has sponsorblock.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So does FreeTube and ReVanced

I like FreeTube the most because its multiplatform.

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use freetube on my desktop. Fix for that is taking a while.

[–] achille225@jlai.lu 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I currently use the external player with FreeTube (set it to use MPV) It's not as good as the original player (for comments for instance), but at least it works

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Same setup I use. I'm really missing the comments right now. Hopefully a fix comes soon.
