I have been using new pipe ever since vanced died and I love the privacy and the simple interface but I really miss one feature. I alredy use the fork of new pipe with sponsor block and to be perfect it would really need a recommended page, it’s the main way I discovered new channels and interesting stuff of of youtube. I just can’t see my self discovering new stuff without the recommendations page, is there any good fork or alternative for this problem?
Llibretube works most if the time.
- privacy
- personalised recommendation page
Choose one.
An alternative browser based approach would be:
Mobile firefox + ublock + a video background play fix addon
Obviously you lose out on privacy unless using incognito mode.
Revanced
Seriously. Vanced wasn’t even open-sourced, Revanced is and also has tweaks for many other popular apps.
The problem I face currently is that you get some black liading screens from time to time if you use the microG service to login
The issue has to do something google did and now there seem to be auth issues. The authors of microG don’t want to fiy it, as the ReVanced isecase is not exactly what they made their service for.

I currently live with it, but its kind of annoying. Should work fine if you don’t want to login though
