NewPipe is such a nice piece of FOSS. Too bad that they decided against integrating SponsorBlock.

- Bayart 5y agoI'm really glad YT Vanced did integrate it.
- k__ 5y agoWhat's the difference between Vanced and NewPipe?
- Bayart 5y agoVanced is a mod of the stock YT app, NewPipe is a completely new codebase that doesn't use YT's API.
- k__ 5y agoHow does it get the YT data if it doesn't use its API?
- bubblethink 5y agoThe way your browser can watch YT.
- rakoo 5y agoNewpipe is Libre Software, Vanced is not
- Lammy 5y agoIt would be weird if it didn’t considering its name is “Youtube Advanced without the ‘Ad’” :)
- glidergun 5y agoThis fork integrates sponsorblock, been using it for a while and even though the maintainer calls the integration "rather basic" it works quite well. https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe
- lol768 5y agoYeah, just read through the GitHub issues thread and it's rather flimsy justification for not implementing it that seems to boil down to "because I don't want to". A real shame, since I'd always admired the project.
- betwixthewires 5y ago"Because I don't want to" is a perfectly valid reason to not implement something in free software.
