Hi guys just wanted to know in your opinion which one of the Android yt clients have integrated dearrow and SponsorBlock extensions features in the most complete way (like the desktop extension). Edit: Thank you all amazing people for the feedback. I gonna use pipepipe (which doesn’t have dearrow) for now since Freetube android seems like needs more polishing for now and LibreTube doesn’t work for me (both of these have implemented SponsorBlock and dearrow)

    Yea, I noticed that, but I have never used or heard of IzzyOnDroid before. Not sure why we need an abstracted layer for F-Droid.

    I don’t usually recommend things I haven’t vetted myself extensively.

      Not sure why we need an abstracted layer for F-Droid.

      Because the default F-Droid repository has some security issues: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

      IzzyOnDroid avoids this by using prebuilt binaries that are properly signed by the actual developers, instead of building and signing apps themselves like F-Droid does

      It also doesn’t have as strict inclusion criteria as the default F-Droid repo, so it is able to offer more apps

        I see, I’ve never looked super deep into F-Droid or released anything there, I didn’t realize that a requirement for releasing on F-Droid was that they build it. Just read their inclusion criteria, interesting.

        ETA: Read through the whole article, and godamn. I don’t really trust anything Android any way, but this is actually a pretty damn big WTF from F-Droid. Thanks for sharing!
