Vanced alternative (feddit.it)

I have been using new pipe ever since vanced died and I love the privacy and the simple interface but I really miss one feature. I alredy use the fork of new pipe with sponsor block and to be perfect it would really need a recommended page, it's the main way I discovered new channels and interesting stuff of of youtube. I just can't see my self discovering new stuff without the recommendations page, is there any good fork or alternative for this problem?

You migh be interested in ReVanced which is essentially a continuation of the old Vanced project.

Revanced is exactly what OP is looking for. My only problem with revanced is that the patcher doesnt tell you what version of the youtube apk to use until you select something. Then it tells you that you need youtube apk version x.y.z.

The installer includes a lot of stuff you may or may not want as well which is cool cause it means more features, but also means I gotta take a minute to review what features to enable/disable.

Revanced is perfect for me. Not as good as vanced but damn close. Any hiccups are totally worth it for how easy it is to use.

can second this, for YT-Music I'm still using good ol Vanced and it still works just fine but for normal YouTube ReVanced is the only thing I need. No ads, SponsorBlock, YouTube Dislike, customizability and many many other patcher options.

Only thing that bugs me sometimes is that some videos stop loading after like 10secs or so but idk if that's a ReVanced issue or a me issue.
