Hi guys. Basically what title says I have been using YouTube revanced since the beginning but now I'm looking for replacements so that I can get rid of the last Google app on my phone and microg all together but I really hate sensational thumbnails and titles on YouTube and kinda got used to DeArrowed thumbnails

Edit: link for the people who might not know what DeArrow is and might be interested

did you try to change instance in settings?

There were some preset piped instances in it I tried some of them. I have to mention that I use a VPN to access YouTube and maybe that is my problem but I have to use a VPN since YouTube access is restricted where I live

I use LibreTube and I can confirm that with settings "Disable Piped proxy" and "Local stream extraction" enabled it works. Give it a try

Yeah someone else suggested that too I installed it again and to my surprise it works for now but I'm sure I tried the local extraction the last time too anyways thanks gonna test it for a few days with multiple VPN servers to see if it really passes Edit: it still doesn't work with some VPN servers "confirm you're not a bot" error

The Dev is implementing a local only mode for the next version. It can be downloaded from the Nightly-Builds Repo if you want to try it.

This is the link to the nightly-builds: https://github.com/libre-tube/NightlyBuilds

Be aware that it is a Debug-Build so it will be a bit laggy
