There's ads on YouTube? /s

NewPipe and SmartTube have been good to me.

VonReposti@feddit.dk · 9 pts · 4d

PipePipe if you want SponsorBlock too.

ReVanced tbh

Turret3857@infosec.pub · 4 pts · 4d (3 replies)

Morphe, Revanced has a shit ass rogue developer and the fork is made by the people who left due to aforementioned rogue developer.

edit: and I'll throw my recommendation for flow out there. Material You, Local recommendations with no account needed, sponsorblock, no ads, and it has youtube music as well.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

TBH, I think the app looks ugly and the little jokes cycling during patching are obnoxious... Also, the settings don't seem to actually work properly on YT? It autoplays in the home screen even when that's disabled, for example.

IDK, I'll explore this a little more when I get some more time.

I do wonder what shit ass rogue developer you're referring to o.0 I haven't kept up with any ReVanced-related drama or anything.

I dont utilize any of the patcher tools myself anymore because I deleted my Google account long ago, so I only keep up for friends who aren't as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.

I can however share the reddit thread that I originally saw when people started pushing Morphe over Revanced

https://safereddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1q1we4e/the_revanced_situation_is_crazy_a_new_project/

The tl;dr is a bunch of the developers got upset that the maintainer acted like a shitty manager more than a FOSS project lead dev.

so I only keep up for friends who aren’t as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.

Fair enough.

On the thread: sheesh at least it's not some Nazi or other extreme thing... The dev is just kind of an asshole, it seems. To be honest, I've heard of enough open-source drama to expect some sort of power-tripping or entitled dev somewhere in every project.

DeArrow,
uBO Lite,

You can use Helium Browser if you want full uBlock Origin on Chromium.

Me just watching archived YouTube videos

I like freetube on desktop but they've had a rough time with the cat-and-mouse game YouTube plays with their backend

Jesus, that’s like thinking shitheads on Facebook know more than scientists

Even if they weren’t all bots I wouldn’t trust skincare advice from Redditors

I want to remind everyone that Dosh can’t run from Pyanodon forever.

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 42m

He will try!

pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 3d

I mean I still look at reddit posts for advice. For example, looking up for people's experiences on specific climbing equipment

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 42m

Whelp this reminded me to check on dosh. Time to rewatch some factario nonsense!
