      Alternatively: Firefox for Android + uBlock origin addon works well for me.

      Unfortunately, there’s no Sponsor Block addon for Firefox Android.

      I’m using NewPipe now after Vanced finally quit working for me about a month ago and it’s great and sooo lightweight but I’m definitely missing some features from vanced. However, I’d rather kill myself than pay for YouTube premium and NewPipe is free so this is not me complaining.

      I’m using InnerTune, another FOSS option, in place of Vanced music and again, works great just missing some features.

        I had the same issue until I discovered ReVanced. It’s literally the same old app but updated. I also have newpipe which I typically use for specific things… Or if I don’t want to receive video recommendations for a certain video

            Yep, same here. IIRC it fails because it’s expecting me to enter a custom package name, but then there’s no field at all to enter a package name. I’ve gone thru the settings multiple times and couldn’t find that option so I too gave up.

            Anyways, NewPipe works well enough for me, and if there’s some issue I could always load it in a browser.

            This isn’t me trying to sound like a dick. But did you enable the option for it to rename itself? I can’t remember where it is, but it’s something along those lines.
