Anybody know of a good apk that blocks ads while watching YouTube on my phone app ?

Firefox for Android with uBlock. I get the YouTube front end (live subscriptions, recommended home feed, livestreams etc.) but no ads.
YouTube revanced is awesome but theres a bit more to it than installing a single apk
revanced is awesome. The patches are increasing in number. The one thing that confused me is what patches/options I can change later in the YouTube revanced settings.
So, maybe they could categorise the patches as:
- Those that can be applied only while patching & cannot be changed in the settings.
- Those that can be changed in the YouTube revanced settings.

Firefox + ublock origin = zero youtube ads. Fuck the app.
There is sponsorBlock version as well
It was really buggy for me for around a week recently but they did patch it

NewPipe or LibreTube.
LibreTube, comes with SponsorBlock builtin and uses the Piped backend.
This!
For YouTube I think the only options are revanced/ revanced extended or Firefox Nightly with a whole bunch of extensions.
Isn’t ublock Origin sufficient? It is at least on desktop browsers.
Yes, ublock is enough on mobile
Revanced extended is great Sadly the devs discontinued it due to unacceptable community (i’m one of the admins of revanced extended)
Wtf. Now revanced stopped too? Didn’t they just release the patches for all the 3th party reddit apps.
Revanced extended …
Not Revanced
I setup Firefox Nightly with SponsorBlock as a substitute before Vanced went down. But I noticed yesterday that it doesn’t seem to support 60fps videos.
Get ReVanced.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Use LibreTube.
Browser with extensions is great and all but Youtube Revanced still way better option it support gesture google account (that google can’t track you) picture in picture and it’s easier on your device’s ram/cpu, for in app ads you can try Lucky Patcher to remove ads as long as the app is not using account to buy premium features LP should work on most app
Aside from Revanced, you can’t really block ads on the Youtube app. You can use your browser or Newpipe/Libretube as an alternative, but that’s it.
revanced.app. there’s also an app on f-droid called adaway.
I don’t have a good ad blocker for you other than AdAway. It won’t block YouTube ads on an unrooted phone, but it can on a rooted one. You can try in-browser mobile YouTube with Firefox + uBlock, but I would suggest switching away from the native YouTube app and getting NewPipe with SponsorBlock from F-Droid.

EDIT: Corrected link to current NewPipe.
Isn’t that repo outdated? I use this
You’re correct. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Fixed the link.
but it doesn’t on unrooted Android
It actually has VPN mode which also works without root
They’re saying it doesn’t work to block ads on YouTube and I can confirm that they’re correct.
Thank you for your response. I’ll check it out
Highly recommended. You can even export your subscriptions from YouTube and import them into NewPipe. But that’s for another thread. I use NewPipe almost exclusively now, having YouTube links pull up in NewPipe. No ads. And with SponsorBlock, you can skip the in-video ads (with community-driven data). Not to mention, you can also stream music from Bandcamp, and it supports PeerTube, etc, as well.
Kiwi browser with ublock origin extension or revanced or newpipe
Would recommend using nextdns for all other ads
i suggest to use a open source front end (such as newpipe). and use adayaw (a hosts based ad blocker) for the generic ads
There’s also newpipe x sponsorBlock
Newpipe sponsorblock is so good.
Is there one that supports casting over chromecast (or other)?
