        Not really. Root lets you completely replace the stock YouTube install and works without microG, but that’s about it iirc. And if you have the Play Store installed, you need to make sure it doesn’t try to “update” rooted Revanced and break things.

        I prefer the non-root version, even on rooted devices.

        With root, YouTube URLs will open in the app by default. Without root, they won’t. Otherwise, there’s not a huge difference.

        No idea. As I root everything by default, I never checked what happens without root, lol. BTW, I didn’t use ReVanced for youtube, but for a different app.

      So what part of this requires root again? They all work fine without root.

        AppManager, for instance. But, you know what? Don’t root your devices. I’ll keep rooting mine just because I can.

          I mean hey, anything’s better the iOS lol. I don’t think rooting is a good idea, but anyone running a custom aosp ROM is an ally of mine. We custom ROM users gotta stick together!
