I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google. (kbin.melroy.org)

@Automated_Footprint
@mateomaui so what did I just installed? I went for the "Revanced Youtube Extended" I guess.

Neither Revanced nor Revanced extended will give you premade Youtube APKs. You have to use one of their methods (manager app or from pc) and build it yourself. That's how they get away from takedowns.

@Automated_Footprint uh its a perbuild apk...? I use it myself. https://github.com/revancedapps/revanced.net/releases/download/2023-46/revanced.net_revanced_youtube_v18.38.44.apk

Again you also need microg: https://github.com/revancedapps/revanced.net/releases/download/2023-36/revanced.net_revanced_microg_v0.2.28.233217.apk. And no, the manager is not required.

Not the correct GitHub page. These people say that they offer clean builds but we never know

@Automated_Footprint
@mateomaui You are right, I need to pay more attention.
