I know FF + ublock allows you to do that, but I’m looking for an app solution. Plus, FF on Android is buggy sometimes. I’m looking for things like background play, PiP play and adblocks. Google sign in is optional.

I have tried:

  • Newpipe: works ok. You can even download the videos. The downside is I dont know how to get Newpipe to customize the trending videos. E.g. I want only trending in topics I care about, not trending becsuse the video has the most views during that time.

  • Youtube Vanced: very nice app, you have everything: adblock, PiP, Google account sign in, background play. The downsides are you install YT Vanced from Vanced Manager and there is a lot of fake sites with fake Vanced Manager apk. In addition, I also get a lot of frozen videos and have to relaunch the app - not sure it it’s adblock problem or anything similar.

    I’m not going to defend Brave but they stopped doing that a long time ago, so you’re just spreading misinformation.

    Use Firefox with uBlock Origin. Same thing

    Not even remotely. Brave has a myriad of other privacy protections.
