All of this led to me ditching all of those (except YouTube, this is without a real alternative due to the content exclusively hosted there) and starting to self-host my stuff and joining the Fediverse.
you can use invidious or piped on PC and newpipe on a phone. just be careful cause i heard google removed newpipe from the playstore and someone put something malicious with the same name, but im not sure how that situation is going
I use the NewPipe fork with Sponsorblock as an optional feature. You can get NewPipe on F-Droid here and the fork with Sponsorblock here.
As a rule of thumb, I always check their respective GitHub pages for links, I don't really trust the Google Store. There are too many spam duplicates of various apps, especially FOSS ones.
You can still get NewPipe on F-Droid.
I just disabled play store and sideload everything anyways.
How's newpipe compared to youtube revanced?
As far as I'm aware: No login capability, does not require Play Services, supports a few other sites like SoundCloud.
Both don't show YT ads.
For NewPipe there's a fork that includes SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike (both of which are in Revanced IIRC?)
There's also dentex YouTube downloader. (android).
