    Firefox for Android with uBlock. I get the YouTube front end (live subscriptions, recommended home feed, livestreams etc.) but no ads.

    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.

    Alternatively, you can use the official YouTube site with Mull browser or Firefox with the ublock origin extension installed. But NewPipe offers a better experience since you can download videos etc.

    I would usually suggest Newpipe but that’s a little buggy rn so Libretube is probably your best bet, that even has sponsorblock aka it skips in video promotions from influencers too!

    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

    Sign up for YT premium using a vpn to a cheap country. I pay $2 a month. Once you sign up you can cancel the vpn and it keeps the same price
