Some annoying internal drama as per leading to some Revanced devs splitting off and creating a new fork. I’ve no idea who’s right so it’s more of a “wait and see which is better maintained for now” situation.

This isn’t surprising, the revanced subreddit moderation was pretty toxic.
Toxic moderation is what the reddit admins want and wanted, they punished mods for doing it any other way. Most (but not all) of the good mods bailed over two years ago now.
There’s also grayjay, tubular and newpipe if you don’t want ads.
PipePipe too, and it ships with SponsorBlock.
FYI in case you didnt know, Tubular is a newpipe fork with sponsorblock built in
Unfortunately these alternatives suffers from YouTube keep breaking logins then block your IP if you are not signed in after like 3 videos.
There is no login option in NewPipe or PipePipe, you export your subscription from YouTube as a file and import them in any of these apps.
The point is YouTube blocks your IP and your video don’t load if you don’t log in
I know how this app works, I have used NewPipe for years already, this is a pretty recent problem.
When that happens to me, I close the app wait 5/10 minutes and it fixes itself.
Actually a longer wait than an ad would be.
At least some of the weaker twitch ad blocker does tell you it is skipping ads and you get an estimated time it will be back up again.
I just start up revanced and it just works.
I’ve found that, at least in my case, the block eventually goes away if I either just wait a while or restart my phone. I’m not smart enough to know why waiting might defeat this, though, so take what I say with a pillar of salt.
I don’t even log in. I subscribe to channels with pipepipe and call it good. I get no ads, notifications on new content, a cleanly organized interface, background play, and easy brightness controls. I personally need nothing else that logging in would provide.
Grayjay is the bomb ! But also just Firefox mobile with an ad blocker. I don’t know why people even bother with complicated setups
GrayJay works great for me
Yes, it’s one of the most stable alternatives in my experience.
And uBlock Origin.
Ehhh?
Sucks that this is happening because Revanced has patches for lots of apps, and this team seems to be focusing only on Youtube, at least for now.I’ve never used Revanced, but would Grayjay be a suitable alternative?
Grey jay is what I’ve been using since revanced broke. It’s been great for me.
ReVanced “left”?
The article says several people left the ReVanced team, but doesn’t say why and neither says if that means anything for ReVanced.
Yeah I wasn’t aware of this. I’ve been using it just fine.
Anyone have any info on why people left the ReVanced team? Hadn’t heard about this till now.
If I still used reddit I would be tempted to reply to all of the revanced maintainers comments with a picture of a sea lion, since it looks like those are the only comments he knows how to make.
I ended up with pipepipe. So much better.
This is the first I’m hearing of Morphe. Just downloaded it and set it up. Took 10 mins. Faff level: minor. A couple more steps than I remember from Vanced.
I was able to login with my YT account and access my music playlist. I’ve been using Newpipe which is fine, but I’ve really missed that feature.
Is it open-source this time, or will Google be able to C&D development again?
Just tried Morphe, it’s basically Revanced with a more streamlined patching/installation. I like it a lot for that alone. But I don’t think it’s replacing my Revanced until it gets the CPU usage in check. Both phones I ran it on were getting warm after 10 mins of continuous full-screen video.
Revanced never warmed my phones up.
I’ll give it a while, keep up with the development. Wait it out a bit and try it out again. I’m hopeful.

Some developers threw a tantrum and forked it? Ok bye
