Hi guys. Basically what title says I have been using YouTube revanced since the beginning but now I’m looking for replacements so that I can get rid of the last Google app on my phone and microg all together but I really hate sensational thumbnails and titles on YouTube and kinda got used to DeArrowed thumbnails

Edit: link for the people who might not know what DeArrow is and might be interested

    Yeah I have been using yt ReVanced for years and you’re right it supports both dearrow and sponsorblock but recently I have gotten rid of all Google apps on my phone except yt ReVanced and microg and I’m looking to finish the job

      I’m not following your logic here. Why would you want to get rid of ReVanced? It’s not a Google product any more than other alternative frontends, right?

        Because It’s modded official YT app with probably a lot of telemetry and phoning home in background

      I did the same… ditched all google services, except maps and revanced. They’re just unbeatable right now in terms of user experience

      Could you list the replacements you use? I am especially wondering about Google maps.

        Try both Magic Earth and Organic Maps but none of them work flawlessly like Google Maps and you have to either give up on it or make concessions
