And Revanced for normal Android

Or LibreTube, especially since Revanced needs Android 8+.

What's the difference between Libretube and Newpipe?

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

Libretube uses piped instances so you can log into a piped account for shared subscriptions between PC and android
