I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/

Updates should have fixed that issue. I was getting it for a while too.

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

I can’t remember how to update unfortunately.

They have a discord server that's pretty active. I know you have to first get the Revanced Manager, then download the recommended YouTube apk, and then patch it through the Manager

Yeah it needs to be updated every once in a while. I've been on the same build for a few weeks with no issues thankfully.

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

Same. I haven't updated in over 2 weeks with no issues at all.

Well I do on my computer, but is it on android as well?

[–] systemglitch 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I use Firefox with ublock origin and all YouTube videos open through ff, which is superior to the app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

On Firefox, yeah

In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn't even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.

With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect

This is the GOAT IMHO, it is worth it even if you pay for YT premium.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thankfully YouTube outs itself with the "most replayed" graph in the video timeline.

You can just skip right to the peak which is always right after the sponsor bit.

[–] pyre 1 points 5 months ago

yeah but sponsorblock can identify more: intros, filler content, self promotion, non music parts of a music video... also has a highlight indicator which skips to the most relevant part.

these are crowdsourced so not 100% but still pretty good

Adblockers time is coming to an end sadly. If it isn't this round, eventually someone is going to make it impossible to use the Internet with an adblocker.

Money owns the internet and money wants more money.
