Vinegar on iOS is also still working perfectly

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Can’t say that’s it’s been working perfectly both on my iPhone and on my iPad, but it’s certainly helped a lot.

Nice, this is one of the primary reasons I haven't used Safari in my Apple noobness, relying on Brave and another browser for YT ad blocking. Going to give this a try too.

ReVanced still and option for Android, though I have to recommend NewPipe and sponsor block

I don't actually use it, I tried it out but I still prefer LibreTube. Just included it because it might be useful for others.

I switched to it from NewPipe w SponsorBlock (fork) when it went public for testing. For a prerelease it does everything I need, except SB functionality. Hoping that is in the pipeline.

Subscription feed works for you? When I imported my subs it said the subscription feed is disabled to due to issues with YouTube API limits. Getting nebula in my home feed is nice though. Mostly still on NP+SB in the meantime.

It does, yep - I just opened it and it already had a video posted just 11 minutes ago. There have been a couple bugs I've found and reported but it's all small, out-of-the-way stuff. I have around 65 yt channels I follow.

Going to try Yattee tonight, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

when following the guide for Yattee, does it serve as a drop-in replacement for the Youtube app, i.e. does it open Youtube links from other apps and everything? I don't use iOS, but I'd like to know how viable it would be as a recommendations for my friend who do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don't use iOS anymore and I don't exactly remember how Yattee behaves. Just recommend them to try it out, they can always look for another solution if this doesn't work.
