Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads

For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.
(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)
For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.
From the Kotlin source for "dvd":
Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).
Features
Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.
Run custom yt-dlp commands.
Update yt-dlp version from settings.
Share link via other apps.

Check out an app called DVD. It uses yt-dlp (which it downloads and updates for you).
