+1 for Revanced. I did the switch recently and I only regret not having done it earlier. YouTube just have too many ads nowadays, it's not watchable without an ads blocking solution.

May I show you the way of Revanced (Manager)?

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I downloaded revanced at one point, may even still have it installed. I've just found that a shortcut to YouTube.com on my home screen has worked great and I haven't felt like changing. what makes revanced better?
