In my expierience New Pipe is lacking. The fact you have to reimport the subscriptions manually is very tedious, besides I've found New Pipe breaks often and it won't let me load videos. It's pretty cool for listening to music while the screen is off, but I wouldn't recommend it as a daily Youtube driver.


I've never seen it actually "break".

The only times it's not working is because YouTube changed something and you need to download a new version which works pretty good with the appropriate repo in F-Droid.


Did they fix that you have to update it only through GitHub?


I don't know when this was the case but it hasn't been since I've been using it.

I just added the repo to F-Droid: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/


It tells me that there is a new version. It downloads it from somewhere and installs it. It could be GitHub but I don't know.

Why not just use RSS for Youtube updates? Or do you not use RSS at all?


As opposed to giving your Google password to Vanced?


You're not giving it to Vanced. It works through Micro G which uses Google's oauth flow to authenticate you.

Anyway, personally I've moved my YouTube account to a dummy account.
