[godreborn]

Since vanced no longer works, is there an alternative to skip ads on YouTube? Thanks.

SponsorBlock for sponsors and UBlock Origin for ads.

Vanced no longer works?
I still have it installed and it seems to still work on my end. Maybe it's getting rolled out progressively?

Anyway, I made a post about this some time ago, here's what I wrote:

I did some research, and found some good alternatives (though not as good as Vanced right now):

• SkyTube
• NewPipe
• LibreTube
• SmartTubeNext (for Android TV devices)
• Your browser of choice with Ublock Origin extension
• Your browser of choice with AdNauseam extension
• Browser's with adblock features included, like Brave or Tor

I'll keep looking for other options, but as of right now, Vanced will keep working for some time.
I think the official statement said that it should still work fine for something around 2 years, but I really hope a good alternative with similar features drops before then, since I do rely on being logged in to YouTube for watching my video subscriptions, and some of these options don't allow for logged in YouTube (I think).

The best bet right now as to something really similar to Vanced, is Revanced Manager.
It's still somewhat finicky to use, but it does the job if you manage to set it up.
It still requires microG from what I know, and you require to download a non-split YouTube apk that is the recommended version listed within the app to get it working for non-root devices. If your device is rooted, then no need to worry about it.

What Vinny said. ReVanced is the new way to use AdBlock and SponsorBlock on the YouTube app.
Instead of distributing the copyrighted application pre-patched, you have to download an APK and patch it yourself. It's more of a hassle to update the app now, but it should be C&D-proof.

I just installed revanced. I have a doctor's appointment in about two or three hours, so I'll give it a thorough test while waiting.

Whilst revanced is good for me it always crashes after about 8mins of use for some reason.

There's Invidious if you're on a computer. It's basically a front end for youtube that blocks ads.
For android there's newpipe. I'm not the biggest fan of the UI/UX, but to save some video's or music for offline it works well

 

[godreborn]

Thanks. I installed revanced.

YouTube Vanced works

I can confirm this

For mobile on the go I've adapted to the open source alternative NewPipe. It works well for what I need to do.
For android TV I use SmartTube. This has sponsorblock built in with it as well

Can vouch for these 2 alternatives

Edit - spelling

ReVanced Manager is what creates "Revanced" sort of speak.

EDIT: Wait... you didn't download a suspicious apk?

 

[godreborn]

Oh that's bad then...

I would recommend delete it. Download ReVanced Manager and the correct YT version it can patch.

Yepp!
Right place and yeah, I download from apkmirror. I don't know which is the latest YT it support at the moment. So you have to go in to "patches" and click "Youtube" and it will show the latest supported it can do.

I do that on my phone?
