Incase you were not aware, there is a new fork of Revanced which is more properly maintained. It's called Morphe. (morphe.software)

Looks very decent - I've just been using Brave for background plays & ad blocking so far.

From what I understand, this needs to have the base vendor app (YT, YT Music, Reddit) installed before, right?

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Not really. You just gotta install Micro G from their own git repo and patch it. Just like revanced.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 4 points 1 week ago

Nope, you just need the APK

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes and it's a bit misleading, you need microg installed.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 6 points 1 week ago

Why would you need YouTube installed to install a patched version of YouTube?

The MicroG observation is a real one though.

What was wrong with how ReVanced was maintained? What are the differences in philosophy and governance with this project?

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Drama occurred within the Revanced team, so it was forked yet again into Morphe.

Sorry, but that doesn't really clarify. Sometimes, "drama" is justified. What was the conflict actually about? How do we know that the Morphe devs were actually on the right side of it?

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It between the project owner and the main contributors. The main contributors say the owner is very toxic and does not push their changes even after months. Hence they all left and created the fork and sttarted working on it. The actual reason is out there somewhere, just gotta search for it.
