It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I’m finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I’ve got no idea when that’ll become less reliable

    I’m not sure if it’s related but I’ve been having a hard time playing videos through NewPipe lately. They just load very slow.

      Ive also noticed this too. Some videos essentially never load on new pipe. Freetube still works great tho 🤷‍♂️

        I noticed the YouTube Addon for Kodi has started throwing errors about age restricted videos not being available outside of official YouTube apps or the site itself.

      Dang, I just found that today (went looking after I noticed YT ads seemed to freeze if I unplugged my headphones to ignore them).

      Seemed to work perfect for me, then again I mostly wanted it for audio and saving my battery.

      I’ve had that problem with revanced and vanced, never could fix it. Newpipe works great for me.

      But youtube will eventualy try to slow it or block it.
