Time to watch my favourite ads featuring videos!

1. revanced-manager

   1 1,003 19,235 9.4 Dart

   💊 Application to use ReVanced on Android

   

   That's not the official site. So it could probably contain malicious code even though it might work fine. Use revanced manager to patch the youtube yourself with ur preferred patches. Use this Link to get the manager and look up some tutorials on patching youtube.

2. SaaSHub

3. Invidious

   2 429 16,703 9.5 Crystal

   Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

   

   https://invidious.io/ or https://piped.video/

4. build-apps

   3 40 1,602 9.1 Shell

   The ReVanced APKs

   

5. brave-browser

   4 1,383 18,325 9.9 JavaScript

   Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

   

   So far all built-in ad blockers I've seen were far less capable than uBlock Origin. For example the one in Brave doesn't even support procedural cosmetic filtering.

6. SmartTube

   5 1,205 21,071 9.9 Java

   Advanced player for set-top boxes and tvs running Android OS

   

   If you have a SmartTV/Chromecast/Tv that can install external APK's, you can install SmartTubeNext which comes with Adblock, Sponsorblock, Shorts blocker, and is updated daily. As long as there's even a shitty solution to removing ads, I'll never pay a company to sit through ever increasing amounts of bullshit I'm never going to buy.

7. NewPipe

   6 2,069 32,380 9.6 Java

   A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

   

8. mpv

   7 852 29,343 9.9 C

   🎥 Command line video player

   

9. user.js

   8 689 10,536 5.7 JavaScript

   Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening

   

   This link is for Firefox, which if you care about privacy is what you should use. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

10. Piped

    9 239 8,642 9.6 Vue

    An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

    

    https://invidious.io/ or https://piped.video/

11. SponsorBlock

    10 915 10,712 9.2 TypeScript

    Skip YouTube video sponsors (browser extension)

    

    Feel free to open an issue https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/issues

12. torrent-discovery

    11 1 217 7.3 JavaScript

    Discover BitTorrent and WebTorrent peers

    

13. webtorrent

    12 82 29,855 9.0 JavaScript

    ⚡️ Streaming torrent client for the web

    

    Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.
