It's definitely a few hoops, but not more than a few. The hardest part is that you have to download the right APK file from apkmirror[1] or the likes. It'll open the the right search for you though, but you still need to know a little bit about apk formats. You also can't just auto-update the app anymore. You have to manually update and patch again. Other than those two points, it's just pressing a few buttons. I only do it for YouTube, because the ad load on that app is insane. For others it's not really worth the trouble, I find. Does iOS have a better way for YT? [1] Ironically, apkmirror has an adblock-blocker, so if you use a DNS based adblock, you have to disable it.
