Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.
Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.
Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don't trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)
Revanced instructions (official Youtube app, but with adblocking, sponsorblock and other nice improvements).
Does this require your phone to be rooted?
No, not at all.
Weird got a message saying I needed root I'm switched to libretube for now, it's good
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 :)
with some nft bullshit from the cancer creators too, tbf
