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
I love dearrow, it’s an invaluable tool. I wish grayjay (https://grayjay.app/) will support it in the future.
Edit: there is a fork the YouTube source with dearrow support, but not official. https://github.com/netux/grayjay-source-youtube
I have literally tried all of the YouTube Frontends I can find and grayjay is the most reliable of them all in my opinion but their YT plugin doesn’t support DeArrow. It seems like Louis Rossman doesn’t like these tools as he repeatedly said on his channel He’s not a fan of neither the SponsorBlock and nor DeArrow and understandably so after all he is a content creator himself. I wish instead of making a bunch of useless yt frontends someone would fork their plugin but I understand maintaining it would be hard work with YouTube constantly changing things in background and subsequent upstream updates need to be merged so who am I to judge I guess
Yeah I became aware of their stance on SponsorBlock while enabling it in Grayjay. TBH, if they are still giving me a choice, I don’t mind what their stance is on this. I (and this is my super personal opinion) much prefer to consciously donate than being served ads or passively contributing to the youtube sponsor hustle.
Yeah who cares as long as they have it. But that’s why I think they probably don’t have any plans to add DeArrow to their official YT plugin
The fork doesn’t look like it’s being maintained unfortunately.
wow just what I was looking for and it’s abandoned
Ah true, stupid me I didn’t even look at the repo history or commits. Thanks for pointing it out :)
Yeah I wish it was official! Love DeArrow and grayjay!
