Had no idea Newpipe was that much more stable, responsive, and faster than it’s fork. Wasn’t hard to decide to uninstall the fork. Don’t even miss sponsorblock.

      Can NewPipe do something similar? Sorry I’m a bit confused what the two have to do with each other

        There is a fork of NewPipe which includes Sponsorblock integration. It’s maintained by different people because the main dev of the official NewPipe wanted to keep it simple.

        Sponsorblock can be used in various addons. They’re talking about the newpipe that has sponsorblock built in vs the stock one.

        NewPipe devs have this dumb idea that adding SponsorBlock support is unethical even though there is no way for companies to tell their ads are being skipped and, more importantly, NewPipe views doesn’t even count and they already make that software.
