It wasn't really worth it before, now it's even less worth it?

Revanced works perfectly fine on Android and on desktop I use an adblocker.

What exactly does revanced do to what programs? The website is no help.

Repackages and patches an older version of the Android ytb app as well as some other apps. The patches do different things for different apps (usually remove ads).

So just downloaded revanced should i download all the patches or select through?

Or just do some looking online and work it out from that for what i want?

Read the documentation. Just selected is enough, just make sure you have sponsor block selected. I don't remember if it is selected by default.

Does Adblock work for YouTube?

uBlock on Firefox

You don't even need Revanced. Just use Firefox on both.

I like Revanced. I can listen to stuff even while the screen is locked and have sponsor block and other addons if I want. I think half the time I spend on my phone is watching Youtube and it's heaps better than Firefox with an adblocker on Android.

I have yt premium and still use revanced. Sponsor block is so goated
