Vanced: YouTube adblocker for Android

1. Vanced does it, and so does uBlock.

2. So I can have access to a worse player ? Which is already impressive given how bad Spotify is.

3. youtube-dl.

4. Giving 0.000005$ to a creator for me watching 20 minutes of video is still Google rent-seeking

5. Fair enough. But then I'm trading one browser extensions that might track me (but that doesn't) for the certainty that Google will absolutely track me to vomit out more shitty AI recommended playlists. Not sure it's worth the tradeoff.
