And SmartTubeNext if you have an Android TV.
You still have to do all that patching and stuff. I do enough IT for work, I won't wanna always be doing it at home.
You just have to do it once in a few months, and recent versions made it way easier to just download the correct apk and patch it quickly.
Invidious or Piped are great options, that also let you hide all the distractions like suggested videos, the toxic dumpster fire that's the comments section, and so on. Piped even implements SponsorBlock without needing to install the addon.
Firefox mobile sucks. I use Brave as my browser (yes I know what I'm doing I don't want a lecture on this) and Grayjay as my YouTube app.
I don't want someone explaining why Brave is bad, I've heard it all. I like it
The only reason why I went with FF/FF clones is because I wanted to completely degoogle myself. But a few websites require a chromium base, so I have Brave on standby for that. It's a good browser.
Okay. Fair enough
