    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

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