YouTube Vanced is miles above NewPipe in features: https://vancedapp.com https://vancedapp.com - If you frequently watch videos on Android and haven't given it a spin yet, do so.
SmartTubeNext is excellent on Fire Stick, if you can get the damn APK installed!
- cercatrova 5y agoYes but NewPipe is a completely from-scratch implementation and has some unique features like 3x speed or downloading videos and audio. The NewPipe UI is not as good however, so it depends on what tradeoffs you want to make.
- sha-3 5y agoAlso, isn't Vanced closed-source? I find the people behind it slightly sketchy.
- chagaif 5y agoIt's YouTube reverse engineered so it seems a bit difficult to open source something like that
- throwaway81523 5y agoNewpipe is also youtube reverse engineered, as is yt-dl/dlp. No need for closed source.
- grishka 5y agoVanced is a patched official youtube app.
- nextaccountic 5y agoBut do they distribute the source of the patches?
- grishka 5y agoI searched some time ago and didn't find any, so they probably don't. They do distribute the sources of their manager app and their fork of microG tho.
