Virus Total Link YouTube ReVanced is an unofficial mod of the original YouTube app, which offers additional features such as ad-blocking, background playback, and more. While it's not officially endorsed by YouTube, ReVanced is considered safe to use as it does not contain any malicious code or malware. However, users should always exercise caution when downloading apps from third-party sources, as there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app. It's recommended to download ReVanced from trusted sources and avoid downloading any unverified versions that may compromise your device's security.

Just remember the creators do not distribute a premade apk. They only provide the tools to make one yourself. If you download a premade apk it is not official and could be messed with. With that being said I have been using it for over a year and have had nothing happen to the google account that was logged in. It is super easy to make your own apk my wife make her own in about 5 min with me only sending her to the official repo.

And those download links are from who? Anyway here is github page from ReVanced team https://github.com/revanced. Download links from OP are kinda sus

Yeah I agree, but the trouble is you can't just download from github. You have to also download YouTube from google (and a specific older version at that) and then use ReVanced to modify - and that's if it even works for you. This creates a barrier to entry that many people just won't bother with.

Agree, but just like OP said "there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app" how do i know if links for download are safe, i could just give you this link (https://revanced-apks.pages.dev/) from r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and say they work for me best... I am just saying people need to be more careful what they are downloading and not trusting some random people from internet including ME

What benefits does it have over NewPipe / NewPipe + SponsorBlock?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Logging in to your account with all it implies: Being able to like and comment, history shared across devices, subscriptions (although there's ways to import your subscriptions into NewPipe but it's hacky), recommendations, etc. If you want this, NewPipe won't do it as it has no way to log in. Many people don't anyway, but a lot do.
