I don't rely on that because YT is often breaking the open clients, but anonymous browsers like Firefox Focus always work.
It's good to have options, and control - which URL Check gives you.
I kind of like that it breaks sometimes. It's my signal to go do something more productive than watching youtube lol.
PipePipe is the new hotness btw. Its a fork of new pipe
Can someone explain why there's 100 different forks of NewPipe? Isn't NewPipe the OG? Is there something wrong with it?
The difference between PipePipe and NewPipe is mainly in the platforms aside from YouTube that they support: Niconico and Bilibili in PipePipe's case; and PeerTube, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and Chaos Computer Club in NewPipe's case. PipePipe still lists those four NewPipe platforms as "legacy", though.
Oh ok I see. I just wanna watch youtube without ads so that's why I just use NewPipe
Libretube is great too if you want that material look
Is that an independent browser?
No, from Mozilla itself. I use an app from F-Droid called FFUpdater to install it and keep it up to date without using the Google Play version.
How does FFUpdater work? Right now I'm using Aurora Store
FFUpdater grabs the install files directly from the builder's distribution site. For example, The current version of Focus is grabbed from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/focus/releases/152.0.1/android/focus-152.0.1-android-arm64-v8a/focus-152.0.1.multi.android-arm64-v8a.apk
