  I like newpipe. But it’s missing my feed with recommendedations etc, I just want the standard YouTube app with no ads ideally. Right now web browser with block is the only workaround?

    I used YouTube Revanced which is exactly what you described.

    Not sure if there are any reasons not to be using it that I’ve missed but it’s works great for me and included a bunch of YouTube premium and customisation features (like hiding shorts).

    You can still “subscribe” to channels and have your subscription notification and feed stuff, but the non sub stuff doesn’t show up. So it’s perfect for the people who don’t want to use Google services, but yeah, it doesn’t track you in any way, so it can’t recommend user specific content to you.

  Good point. Missed the Android part.
