Yes, but for me sometimes video doesn’t load so I prefer NewPipe/Tubular

If you use the default piped instance then it’s usually overloaded. You can either try finding an alternative or just host your own, personally I do the ladder I rented a VPS for 20 bucks a month and I host my own pipe there

Revanced is fucky nowadays. I haven’t been able to fix the issue where videos randomly stop buffering until you reopen them.

Suggested YT apk is V.19.16.39
