I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/
Updates should have fixed that issue. I was getting it for a while too.
I can’t remember how to update unfortunately.
They have a discord server that's pretty active. I know you have to first get the Revanced Manager, then download the recommended YouTube apk, and then patch it through the Manager
Yeah it needs to be updated every once in a while. I've been on the same build for a few weeks with no issues thankfully.
Same. I haven't updated in over 2 weeks with no issues at all.
You don't use ublock origin?
Well I do on my computer, but is it on android as well?
Yeah, I use Firefox with ublock origin and all YouTube videos open through ff, which is superior to the app.
This is the way. Only reason I open the android yt app these days is to cast to smartTube on the TV which also has no ads.
On Firefox, yeah
In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn't even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.
With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect
This is the GOAT IMHO, it is worth it even if you pay for YT premium.
Thankfully YouTube outs itself with the "most replayed" graph in the video timeline.
You can just skip right to the peak which is always right after the sponsor bit.
yeah but sponsorblock can identify more: intros, filler content, self promotion, non music parts of a music video... also has a highlight indicator which skips to the most relevant part.
these are crowdsourced so not 100% but still pretty good
$ mpv ${URL}Adblockers time is coming to an end sadly. If it isn't this round, eventually someone is going to make it impossible to use the Internet with an adblocker.
Money owns the internet and money wants more money.
Lol sure the entire open source community is just gonna give up. You called it.
There's just one small problem which is that my computer is a general purpose machine which means I can make it do whatever I want. They can invent new tricks, but we can always counter them.
