Anybody know of a good apk that blocks ads while watching YouTube on my phone app ?

      revanced is awesome. The patches are increasing in number. The one thing that confused me is what patches/options I can change later in the YouTube revanced settings.

      So, maybe they could categorise the patches as:

      1. Those that can be applied only while patching & cannot be changed in the settings.
      2. Those that can be changed in the YouTube revanced settings.

    Browser with extensions is great and all but Youtube Revanced still way better option it support gesture google account (that google can’t track you) picture in picture and it’s easier on your device’s ram/cpu, for in app ads you can try Lucky Patcher to remove ads as long as the app is not using account to buy premium features LP should work on most app

    Another plug for Revanced, simple to install, does the job

    I would usually suggest Newpipe but that’s a little buggy rn so Libretube is probably your best bet, that even has sponsorblock aka it skips in video promotions from influencers too!

    Kiwi browser with ublock origin extension or revanced or newpipe

    Would recommend using nextdns for all other ads

    Never use a proprietary app for what should be done in a browser.

        Maybe, i simply use firefox+ublock origin and that’s fine for me

        I use AdAway in a non-rooted device and it works fine. You need to use it with a local vpn mode to function.

          Same. Doesn’t work for youtube ads though as they’re served from the same place as the video content. AFAIK browser based blocking is the only way to do it.

    i suggest to use a open source front end (such as newpipe). and use adayaw (a hosts based ad blocker) for the generic ads

      iirc changing your DNS doesn’t really block ads in the app since they serve ads using the same server side domains or something.

      I’d recommend NextDNS, although I haven’t tried the AdGuard DNS. You can choose from many blocklists, add stuff to Denylist or Allowlist (which I had to do for AliExpresss app to work properly), check logs to see what was blocked or allowed, add Rewrites which was useful for lemmy.fmhy.ml and fmhy.ml, and there’s a bunch of other protection options.

      You can also test it out for free WITHOUT SIGNUP for 7 days. If you clear your cookies you can get another 7 days over and over without signup.

    TrackerControl may work for this if you must use the stock app, newpipe is probably the best solution and finally, you can also use ad blocking dns and there may be VPN solutions as well.

    Good luck
