NewPipe [1] is an open-source alternative, although latest versions of Vanced will supposedly keep working for the foreseeable future [2]. [1]: https://newpipe.net/ [2]: https://nitter.net/YTVanced/status/1503055442506915846#m

I use NewPipe frequently. It's rumored that Vanced was sent a cease and desist (which seems pretty likely). Out of curiosity, what are the chances that NewPipe will face the same fate?

Last I've heard they don't even use the YouTube APIs, just parses the website. So they're probably fine.

I would venture it's not going to be so hard for Google to detect and obsolete existing Vanced installations some way or another.

And for AndroidTV devices, SmartTubeNext is awesome: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext

It’s great, but I sorely miss my search history.

I’m sick of typing the same search query again and again.

NewPipe has loads of random breakage. But as a plus, it doesn't need you to sign in.

Despite my issues with needing to log in, seeing Vanced go is horrible. It is an insanely well put together app.

Sorry to shit on this, but NewPipe sucks. In my experience it's a waste of time to try and use it as a YT client replacement. It barely works, if at all. Casting definitely never ever worked for me, not even once.

The user experience is unfamiliar and seems significantly worse than Vanced.

Vanced is what the official youbutt app should've been. RIP.
