It doesn’t hide your IP so I’d recommend using something piped-based if you need that level of privacy

If you check their GitHub, there is an open issue and a very simple fix - enable “Use HLS” in settings. It’s as simple as that

Oh sweet. I thought Newpipe stopped development to work on a rewrite, or am I misremembering? Either way, nice to see comments working again.

Possibly that’s only about changes to the UI, and this is to the extractor. Afaik newpipe’s extractor is used by other projects too, like piped

Why on earth would you want YouTube comments. That’s the best thing about this, switching them off.

Jokes aside, happy for you that something you are using is working again.

Sometimes they’re useful. I was watching a tier list of swimming caps and the comments happened to ask decent questions and the author was answering them politely.

Watching something that is useful. Like tutorials on working on cars, PCs etc…

Not all of YouTube is garbage. Some of us like to learn things

I prefer Tubular for reliability+sponsorblock, or LibreTube for Material UI.

Is it updated faster than BraveNewPipe?

Cuz BraveNewPipe has sponsorblock and return YT dislike built-in.

Yes but i’m not interested as fdroid has many features that i like for ex: conforming the builds, inclusion policy, stopping updates if something is changed, removing proprietary builds etc obtainium is just a tool to make getting apps from git or anywhere else easy and not at all as safe ir useful as fdroid for me .
