Hi guys. Basically what title says I have been using YouTube revanced since the beginning but now I’m looking for replacements so that I can get rid of the last Google app on my phone and microg all together but I really hate sensational thumbnails and titles on YouTube and kinda got used to DeArrowed thumbnails

Edit: link for the people who might not know what DeArrow is and might be interested

          There were some preset piped instances in it I tried some of them. I have to mention that I use a VPN to access YouTube and maybe that is my problem but I have to use a VPN since YouTube access is restricted where I live

            I use LibreTube and I can confirm that with settings “Disable Piped proxy” and “Local stream extraction” enabled it works. Give it a try

              Yeah someone else suggested that too I installed it again and to my surprise it works for now but I’m sure I tried the local extraction the last time too anyways thanks gonna test it for a few days with multiple VPN servers to see if it really passes Edit: it still doesn’t work with some VPN servers “confirm you’re not a bot” error

            The Dev is implementing a local only mode for the next version. It can be downloaded from the Nightly-Builds Repo if you want to try it.

            This is the link to the nightly-builds: https://github.com/libre-tube/NightlyBuilds

            Be aware that it is a Debug-Build so it will be a bit laggy

        yeah, nowadays i think they changed their focus from watching directly from YouTube or piped to being a client for personal instances, quite a shame…
