I am looking for for an app that registers as a YouTube endpoint, but has no ads and tracking (or backdoors). I had one (forgot the name) which stopped working. Please advice.

          Removed the trending tab, made my tabs “What’s New” “Subscriptions” “Bookmarks” and “History”. Made a few categories in the Subscriptions tab to sort specific channel types into different feeds. Bunch of minor tweaks to the video player/SponsorBlock settings. Honestly I recommend just taking the time to go through all the settings to configure it exactly how you want.

    Libretube works off piped servers and has multiple instances listed ready for use. It includes Sponsorblock and has a beautiful UI. It’s slightly buggy sometimes but if you can deal with that it’s the best.

    Clipious for Invidious based, but it’s not as good as Libretube Newpipe for Piped, but it’s direct and reveals your IP to YT and has bad UI Libretube for Piped, but it’s a bit buggy at times.

    There are two majore options, Newpipe and Libretube. To summ it up, Piped uses the Newpipe extractor which is the backend of Newpipe and Libretube uses Piped to put a server in between and mask your IP, both are great!

    Libretube is what you are looking for. It uses piped api. It’s also available on F-droid.

    Newpipe or Newpipe X Sponsorblock is also a good option.

      Newpipe X Sponsorblock

      Wow, this is great. Are there any downsides of using this vs using regular NewPipe? Like updates delays etc.?

    I am amazed why no one has said Clipious.

    It uses Invidious instances, and if you enable the proxy option, Google won’t even get to know your IP address, which is not the case with apps like LibreTube and NewPipe.
