At least they didn't make the copyright mistakes this time. Perhaps it would be better if this version of Vanced stayed difficult to install to avoid spreading it too wide.

What did Google expect? If they take this one down another will appear to take its place, and so on.

Sensational!

I wonder if they fixed the bug Vanced had where you set mobile video to 480p and it kept trying to play 1080p instead even when your connection wouldn't support it.

Apparently Vanced was a patched YouTube app for Android, removing ads, adding a dark theme and YouTube Premium features (probably more ?). It was discontinued two weeks ago:

Is this somehow based on the original Vanced app (which wasn't open source afaik?) or are they essentially beginning from scratch?

Youtube's frequency of ads has become so extreme that I've just yesterday opted to pay 11€/month for YT Premium.

I had tried before disabling them with a Pihole or by blocking domains. It didn't work. Also, on a Samsung TV, you can't really install another front end.

more like, trademark mistakes. Patching and redistributing a proprietary app most definitely violates copyrights.

Google didn’t do anything until Vanced tried to release an NFT and profit off the app

They should mirror somewhere outside of GitHub, this may get taken down.
