Had never heard of ReVanced before this looks amazing. I was just browsing their list of patches and there are some really great ones. Def gonna start using this. So thanks for sharing the link

The name comes from the original tweak called YouTube Vanced after it got shut down. Vanced is Advanced without the Ad, which I thought was super clever.

The function I love is the thumbnail one, because I can't stand a lot of thumbnails on YouTube. Even my favourite channels have to do the stupid faces and the arrows for the algorithm. The patch changes it back to the frame in the midpoint of the video.

Fucking love that one. Those thumbnails almost gave me an aneurysm.

The day revanced dies is the day I leave youtube.

I feel like we would just get Rerevanced in like 2 days

I have been training myself to use the Revanced patch API for when that day comes

Same, why pay when this also gives you sponsorblock, return dislike, dearrow, etc

I keep hearing about revanced, but I never end up checking it out because there's always another option. I used to use Invidious for everything, then I used Newpipe for everything, and now I use Grayjay for everything. I have faith that if Revanced goes down, there will be another Revanced in days.

Though I don't support yt ,Newpipe and forks exist they also support peertube and soundcloud

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Yup. Same with me except smart tube next
