The perfect social media android experience, using Jerboa for ad free, federated, social media and Newpipe for ad free YouTube with a beautiful userface.

Install newpipe with f-droid.

Remember to go into Apps and click on Newpipe and change default urls so Android opens all the YouTube urls with Newpipe.

After that, it’s heaven on mobile.

    My pet peeve is when people take time during their video to put in an ad that is part of the video itself, so it’s not skippable like traditional Youtube ads. You have to use the seeker to fast forward past the ad.

    I have YT premium (we get it with our cell phone plan), so I’m even paying these people for the videos, yet am still being served ads. I wish YouTube would institute a policy against it.

      There is a fork of NewPipe which supports sponsorblock. That clips out the segments your talking about. Mainline NewPipe won’t support that as an ethical stance so only in the fork.
