I appreciated how the reddit app I used (relay) kept everything internal. I don’t want all the links I open on this app opening in my browser and plugging up my history. I doubly appreciated how it would open YouTube links in an internal video player that wasn’t linked to my YouTube account in any way. This is a must have for me to prevent my YouTube “algorithm” from getting any ideas. For example, I watch a video about “X” and now my whole feed is suggesting I watch more videos about whatever “X” was.
I love Newpipe but I couldn’t get over how cumbersome importing subs was for me. Also not having my watch history was mildly annoying. I switched to ReVanced about 2 weeks ago and haven’t opened my YT app since.
This is true. Although I think NewPipe has its place for when you don’t want to link your watch history to your Google account. So I use it like private mode for YouTube.
Good call. I hadn’t thought if that. I did really like the folder function on it. Grouping content so that I could easily see new posts in a genre was great.
I used ReVanced for a while but I’ve switched over to libretube and it’s been a great change.
Never used libretube but I’ll have to look into it.
It’s much like newpipe just looks better and imo it was easier to deal with subs. You can make an account with a piped instance that will keep all your subs so if you move phones or something you don’t have to re-import everything.
Ohhh very neat. Does it have a folder or grouping function to group subs or view videos in a group rather than a generic feed?
I’m not sure personally. I just use it as a generic feed but there is a bunch of settings for subscriptions that I haven’t even bothered to touch.
