I respect you and your life. Youtube on android without ads and with background playback:

- download revanced [1]

- download gsmcore [2]

- download YouTube with correct version APK from apkmirror [3]

- uninstall your old YouTube app

- install gsmcore, login with Google

- open revanced, patch downloaded YouTube APK

- install it and be fucking free

How long until this gets taken down on play store?

which play store

Never mind this is some different wizardry

I've been enjoying grayjay:)

or install brave browser and navigate to YouTube. Be fucking free

this is better

I am happy with NewPipe.

+1 this

Where there is a will, there is a way... pays to remember that AOSP = Android "open source" project 😃 ...

Thanks nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg

or don't do any of this and just install grayjay, much easier, and it's FOSS

Thank sir, but free to watch. Not free to talk.. shameless anyway

What's wrong with https://newpipe.net ?

Or just use brave browser. It's not FOSS but neither is YouTube so...

... or install NewPipe.

login with google -> this part requires bending the knee

Tubular = newpipe + SponsorBlock

try GrayJay by FUTO.

You can watch Youtube but also Twitch, Rumble, and whatever else for streaming

become ungovernable :vendetta:

Or just use Brave browser. No need to tweak APK or anything like that.

Open Brave, go to YouTube and enjoy. Playback in the background, pip, it's all there and no ads.

GrayJay is also pretty good 👍

whats wrong with just downloading pipepipe from fdroid?

I've been using Vanced+MicroG for almost 8 years. I love those developers.
