NewPipe: The lightweight YouTube experience for Android

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • NewPipe

    A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

  • NewPipe does not see themselves as a project focused on blocking ads but as a privacy first project.

    See their reasoning for rejecting the sponsor block PR here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/3205

    One can disagree with their decision but I can understand why they did this and since the PR author offers builds themselves, I don't understand why people are often angry towards the NewPipe maintainers.

  • SponsorBlock

    Skip YouTube video sponsors (browser extension)

  • One of the biggest strengths of Vanced over NewPipe when i tried them both was SponsorBlock [0]

    Is there a similar feature available in Newpipe now?
