      +1 for Revanced. I did the switch recently and I only regret not having done it earlier. YouTube just have too many ads nowadays, it’s not watchable without an ads blocking solution.

              I downloaded revanced at one point, may even still have it installed. I’ve just found that a shortcut to YouTube.com on my home screen has worked great and I haven’t felt like changing. what makes revanced better?
