Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved.

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can't find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn't used to add live in your what's new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

Just got a 2nd hand Pixel I am currently tinkering with/thinking about Degoogling. Is there a significant difference between Newpipe vs Revanced?
I don't think revanced is even a bit privacy friendly, it's just a mod of youtube
- Newpipe doesn't let you leave comments (which was the reason I personally switched to it -- I used to spend too much time commenting like half of the stuff I watched, and I watched a lot) or login with a Google account;
- newpipe doesn't have sponsorblock (which is currently solved by using tubular; note that it may or may not become abandoned like previous attempts by other ppl);
- newpipe lets you download video/audio (although, admittedly, having yt-dlp in termux is still more than handy for bulk downloads);
- newpipe has better (imo) background playback: you can either play or enqueue both videos and playlists (note: I haven't used yt app for a while, so mb it also can do similar stuff)
- newpipe doesn't need play services whatsoever;
- newpipe's ui takes some time to get used to (imo)
Thank you for this thorough breakdown!
If you want to actually fully degoogle, you wouldn't want to use Revanced. Revanced just patches the official YouTube App.
I personally use NewPipe when watching on my phone, but I do have Revanced YouTube installed as well just for casting to my TV. Convenience for me.

Other problems include newpipe having an old material interface
That's a selling point for me.
@sigmaklimgrindset well, for one, it is a completely separate app
No seriously, where ReVanced is a collection of patches for the official YouTube app(s) (and some others)
NewPipe is a built-from-the-ground, independent, no-Google-Code YouTube client that relies entirely on scraping the website using NewPipeExtractor
As such, the entire experience apart from the content itself differs.
