I am looking for for an app that registers as a YouTube endpoint, but has no ads and tracking (or backdoors). I had one (forgot the name) which stopped working. Please advice.

Revanced instructions (official Youtube app, but with adblocking, sponsorblock and other nice improvements).
- Uninstall Youtube (or disable if not possible)
- https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases
- Install
- Open, go to “Patcher”, find “Youtube” and download the specified recommended version from https://www.apkmirror.com/
- Patch it, install it.
- Install MicroG if you want to use your Google account with it: https://github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG/releases
- Launch your installed youtube app. You will need to login from within the app if you are using MicroG.

Also you have to patch the app yourself
I thought I read someone was providing “clean” patched APKs now?

Google might go after pathed apks, but you can’t go after patches (which isn’t apk).
EDIT: Google actually went after patched Vanced apk and got it off the internet. ReVanced was born afterwards shortly :)
