No pop-ups on NewPipe x Sponsorblock.
ublock origin works
NewPipe is a third party app, hence you don't get any popups. Doesn't mean YT can't do anything to stop you tho
Could they really do anything though? Newpipe directly scrapes the content, after all
My only issue with it is that it's slightly outdated, so I run BraveNewPipe: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe/tree/v0.25.2-2.1.4
(It implements the same features while also adding support for some extra platforms)
