And yet I still haven’t seen a single ad in years or one of these new warnings to allow ads. Thank god for ublock origin

I was using vanced, but last week it would load a video then buffer forever. Same thing was happening to my official YouTube app as well. I tried a couple different YouTube apps but either didn't like them or couldn't get them to work correctly.

Firefox with u block works so well. I added sponsor block and it's like I'm using vanced again.

I had this issue with ReVanced, I had to go into the settings and enable spoofing... Haven't had an issue since.

I had the same problem with vanced where it stop every video after 1 minute and 3 seconds. Updating Revanced Manager and creating a new APK fixed the problem, now everything works with no issues again
