Hi guys. Basically what title says I have been using YouTube revanced since the beginning but now I'm looking for replacements so that I can get rid of the last Google app on my phone and microg all together but I really hate sensational thumbnails and titles on YouTube and kinda got used to DeArrowed thumbnails

Edit: link for the people who might not know what DeArrow is and might be interested

Not a 3rd party front end as such but on android I use YT through browser with DeArrow, Sponsorblock & uBO. I never sign in to YouTube, subscriptions & "watch later" i handle via a specific note set up in Joplin. Also all tracking is removed first via Untracker. Takes an extra few seconds to add video links to Joplin but its become second nature & works well for me & of course this way let's me save links to PeerTube content & any other sources too

Thanks Sounds good but I can't access YouTube without a VPN so I'm gonna get the "login to confirm you're not a bot" error the second I open YT on web
