I ve been using new pipe for really long time but now it feels like this update even more great. Now we could see shorts, live, playlist (which was I wanted for longtime, always had the struggle of searching a particular video). Overall it’s better now and lighter compared to Libretube.
TBH, I’m not even missing Newpipe x Sponsorblock. I switched for the tabs, but the stability and speed make a really compelling case for me to stay.
