    LibreTube is NewPipe but looks better and is an overall smoother experience in my opinion.

    Pros:

    *Material You *Faster *SponsorBlock built in to main app *Subscriptions refresh automatically

    Cons:

    • An account must be created to subscribe to channels, but fortunately, you only need to create a username and password, no email or phone number or anything
    • No auto-rotate

    Libretube is like newpipe but better and with way more features built in like:

    • Sponsorblock
    • Return Youtube Dislike
    • Material You
    • Adblock
    • Piped Intergration
    • Etc

    Its by far and none the best open source youtube player around, it actively gets more updates than newpipe too and is more stable

    It is more privacy friendly as it uses piped instances to fetch videos from you tube , it is adfree and constantly adding feature and LOOKS MODERN THAT NEWPIPE'S OUTDATED LOOK.

    They provide a similar experience on Android, but NewPipe is more polished and feature rich. So I use SkyTube as backup app for NewPipe.
