Anybody know of a good apk that blocks ads while watching YouTube on my phone app ?

YouTube revanced is awesome but theres a bit more to it than installing a single apk
revanced is awesome. The patches are increasing in number. The one thing that confused me is what patches/options I can change later in the YouTube revanced settings.
So, maybe they could categorise the patches as:
- Those that can be applied only while patching & cannot be changed in the settings.
- Those that can be changed in the YouTube revanced settings.
Firefox + ublock origin = zero youtube ads. Fuck the app.
Aside from Revanced, you can’t really block ads on the Youtube app. You can use your browser or Newpipe/Libretube as an alternative, but that’s it.
There is sponsorBlock version as well
One more vote for NewPipe! Been using it for years.
Second new pipe. Works great
LibreTube, comes with SponsorBlock builtin and uses the Piped backend.
This!
Browser with extensions is great and all but Youtube Revanced still way better option it support gesture google account (that google can’t track you) picture in picture and it’s easier on your device’s ram/cpu, for in app ads you can try Lucky Patcher to remove ads as long as the app is not using account to buy premium features LP should work on most app
Use LibreTube.
TrackerControl may work for this if you must use the stock app, newpipe is probably the best solution and finally, you can also use ad blocking dns and there may be VPN solutions as well.
Good luck
Yes, you can use NewPipe x Sponsorblock or LibreTube
I don’t have a good ad blocker for you other than AdAway. It won’t block YouTube ads on an unrooted phone, but it can on a rooted one. You can try in-browser mobile YouTube with Firefox + uBlock, but I would suggest switching away from the native YouTube app and getting NewPipe with SponsorBlock from F-Droid.
Isn’t that repo outdated? I use this
Thank you for your response. I’ll check it out
Highly recommended. You can even export your subscriptions from YouTube and import them into NewPipe. But that’s for another thread. I use NewPipe almost exclusively now, having YouTube links pull up in NewPipe. No ads. And with SponsorBlock, you can skip the in-video ads (with community-driven data). Not to mention, you can also stream music from Bandcamp, and it supports PeerTube, etc, as well.
Kiwi browser with ublock origin extension or revanced or newpipe
Would recommend using nextdns for all other ads
For YouTube I think the only options are revanced/ revanced extended or Firefox Nightly with a whole bunch of extensions.
Isn’t ublock Origin sufficient? It is at least on desktop browsers.
Yes, ublock is enough on mobile
I setup Firefox Nightly with SponsorBlock as a substitute before Vanced went down. But I noticed yesterday that it doesn’t seem to support 60fps videos.
Get ReVanced.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Youtube revanced
i suggest to use a open source front end (such as newpipe). and use adayaw (a hosts based ad blocker) for the generic ads
There’s also newpipe x sponsorBlock
Newpipe sponsorblock is so good.
Is there one that supports casting over chromecast (or other)?
If you have a rooted device you can always rely on AdAway
adaway is awesome but it won’t block youtube ads
Maybe, i simply use firefox+ublock origin and that’s fine for me
My device isn’t rooted but I will look into that.
I use AdAway in a non-rooted device and it works fine. You need to use it with a local vpn mode to function.
Same. Doesn’t work for youtube ads though as they’re served from the same place as the video content. AFAIK browser based blocking is the only way to do it.
