    Newpipe also puts the default one to shame! No ads and works smooth even on very old phones. But I guess they couldn’t write about it in the article, because it infringes a few terms of services lol

    Edit: I followed a reply comment and saw a different icon and clicked it out of curiosity, so I ended reacting to myself and I can’t find a way to undo this. Don’t mind my self reaction >.<

      The forks are great too like PipePipe. I find sponsorblock but most importantly the ability to block channels invaluable, since the algorithm always pushes certain big channels to the top of search results for certain topics. So you always have to scroll past them.
