A better Revanced (grayjay.app)

Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

The issue with all this is the general architecture of the internet, web browsers and programming languages and such aren't going to fundamental change just because Google needs to see more ad revenue.

The harder they try to stick with this method of profiteering the harder the push back will be. There will always be ad block as long as there are ads.

All they're doing is showing their cards and setting themselves up for defeat!

I downloaded this app yesterday and I love it.

please edit this post to remove the incorrect claim that this is open source, as it is clearly not.

It is not free software but it is open source. Stop gatekeeping the term. I can look at the code and modify it to my hearts content. I can also watch as the project is being developed. That means it's open source. It would be free software if you where also allowed to redistribute it but I can fully see why they do not want that

https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE: FUTO TEMPORARY LICENSE It seems like it's more CC non-commercial and not truly libre but I can understand why someone would say open source.

Better than Revanced? So it can access all my watch history, comments, votes, subscriptions, etc? If not, then it's not better for me.

Nice. I definitely have to check it out. I pay for Nebula/Curiosity Stream but am not able to play the Nebula videos with the screen off like I can with ReVanced. Hopefully I can with Grayjay.

So I have multiple YouTube accounts under the same email. I tried to important my subscriptions but it takes them from the wrong account. Is there a way to select accounts?

"Not compatible with my device" sadly. Probably Android version since my phone is old as all fuck.

If you're trying through the app store I would suggest the website, it has a few different options including non ARM device architecture!
