  • SponsorBlock

    Skip YouTube video sponsors (browser extension)

  • I'm a Youtube Premium subscriber. The mobile Youtube app does not support Sponsor Block like Vanced does. I'd pay Google another $10 a month of they'd bake that into the paid subscription, but sadly, they haven't done this (yet).)

  • vanced-website-v2

    Source Code of the Vanced Website

  • Unfortunately, they don't have any direct donation options, but we can at least use their referral codes at their website for brave/adguard.

  • VancedStore

    General Application Store with support for root apps and more

  • uYouPlus

    uYou+ is a modified version of uYou (made by @MiRO92) with additional features and mainly made for non jailbroken users!

  • LibreTube

    An alternative frontend for YouTube, for Android.

  • iceraven-browser

    Iceraven Browser

  • It's not a dedicated YouTube app, but Iceraven for Android, a general purpose web browser, has add-ons like "UBlock Origin", "Video Background Play Fix", "Sponsor Block", and several more extensions that modify YouTube available to easily install right from the Iceraven settings menu.

  • FreeTube

    An Open Source YouTube app for privacy

  • Future possibilities: Invidious (YouTube proxy but no Android client) or FreeTube (Windows/Mac/Linux)

  • SkyTube

    Copylefted libre / open source YouTube player for Android

  • Possible alternatives: NewPipe and SkyTube

  • youtube-dl

    Command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites

  • No it's not. It was only "dead" for a month until someone new stepped in to be the main maintainer. https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30568

  • Vanced

    Vanced Issues/Docs repo

  • SmartTube

    SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tvs running Android OS

  • SmartTubeNext for Google Tv, which is pretty much like Vanced but for Google Tv and other devices (works on a Raspberry Pi Google Tv box too and supports casting). The developer is from Ukraine btw so he could probably use a bit of financial help right now considering what's going on, so if you want to donate for awhile, here's his Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/smarttube

  • VueTube

    Discontinued A simple FOSS video streaming client aimed to recreate ALL features from their respective apps (and more)

  • VueTube This seems a great future alternative to Vanced, but it is still on the early stages. So currently it doesn't even play videos, but in the future there is going to be support for sponsorblock and return YouTube dislike.

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
