So I decided to look for a more practical solution, where I don't have to update or change the filters all the time. I registered at piped And I use the Libretube android app

YouTube → Libretube♥️

hopefully they'll lay off the ads since so many users suddenly can't use ad blockers, but I don't think they will. uBlock origin still seems to work fine.
try piped or its android client libretube
- YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

[Question] is there and actual good alternative for Vanced?
SkyTube Extra

Vanced alternative for an ancient phone with JB Android 4.2.2?
I haven't tried SkyTube but looking at their GitHub it seems the video player it relies on is the cause of the issue and is also needing minimum 5.0: https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/issues/1062

Can anyone fix the old youtube app?
Legacy requires Android 4.0 minimum, it was branched out to Legacy due to crashes and development burden getting the main one to work properly. You can find it here.

Missing device(s) to "Cast to"
Interesting. I can recommend Skytube extra for casting without ads. Smarttubenext seems to be another good option if you have the newest chromecast with google tv or an android tv box (which I don't)
