    Not really competing with each other since one is on Windows And Apple OS and the other on Android only, but they do provide similar great experience.

    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.

    Odysee is amazing! It should be the top alternative to YOUTUBE, not NewPipe, which is an apples-oranges comparison.
