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.

      Skips embedded sponsors and other things from crowd sourced segments.

        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.

              Happy to help. If you’re on android you can get YouTube ReVanced to block ads and get Sponsorblock integration in something like the official YouTube app too.
