And is on F-Droid. Also supports other services including PeerTube. I probably forgot other useful features. Always irks me a little when people recommend Vanced.

I use F-Droid whenever I can but only for NewPipe I started to actively avoid it. YouTube occasionally changes it's HTML and breaks NewPipe, the app starts crashing and while it usually gets fixed quickly and the apk gets uploaded to GitHub, F-Droid still takes weeks to update it. Last update was about 2 weeks late, that's when I uninstalled the F-Droid version and started installing it directly from the GitHub releases page. Unfortunately for time critical bug fixes F-Droid still has a lot to improve.

A useful feature you forgot is the AMOLED theme. Also subscribing to channels without having to use a YouTube account.

You could add this repository to get the latest github releases: https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo/

Some ongoing discussion on this issue thread here. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/1981

Thank you very much for that! I didn't know they had their own repository.
