ReVanced will work almost flawlessly 90% of the time. Newpipe, Freetube, Pipepipe, Invidious, etc. will frequently break and require so much VPN hopping that I barely bother with them. Watching YT on my laptop is a pain in the ass compared to my phone.
Honestly, until late summer ReVanced hadn’t done me wrong at all and I had been using it for about a year, but YT managed to patch whatever loophole they found for YT Music, so I suffered for a month and listened on the regular YT app. It works now, although sometimes I have to VPN hop because it’ll play a song only up to a minute, and then hang.
Revanced doesn’t just flawlessly patch YouTube (and gives you additional options like skipping promos), you can use it to patch all sorts of other apps too.
I’m surprised it took so long, I’ve not been able to watch Channel 5 for years.
Anyhow, I love Revanced.
Every time I see people talk YouTube alternatives they complain that Revanced is bad and Newpipe is good.

For when on desktop just use Firefox +uBlock
ReVanced looks pretty good installed on a desktop Android emulator / VM set to Tablet mode FYI
ReVanced allow you to turn the screen off?
Yes!
I’ve never heard anyone say newpipe is good
A bunch in this thread are doing so.
