In NewPipe 0.26i use https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe which is super amazing. sadly the PR to implement sponsorblock in the main newpipe was worked on for almost a year but unfortunately the youtube-dl fiasco happened around the same time and that spooked the devs who refused to import the PR.
That forced the PR author to set up the fork which is working surprisingly well. People were imagining that the fork would not survive but i have been using it since day 1 and can't imagine newpipe or libretube without sponsorblock.

In NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for AndroidWay too expensive (unless you are able to pay in a currency of a third world country which is what I do). They still do tracking on you. You still get sponsored ads by 'creators', so you'll need Sponsorblock as well.
For Android, consider using "NewPipe x SponsorBlock x Return YouTube Dislike" [1]

In Show HN: Tell YouTube Ads to Fuck OffTracking data can be used long-term to profile and manipulative you as well as sell your soul to the devil. Whereas ads are a result of tracking data. If you want to combat ads then you want either no ads or you don't want relevant ads, and you achieve that by avoiding tracking.
One could say: "Google will keep my tracking data secure, because it is in their primary interest to do so in order to be the primary benefactor to their ad revenue." Sure, that holds some merit. Til Google figures a way to circumvent your ad blocker, til Google sells your data to a third party ("partner"), til Google gets hacked (and they were hacked by the NSA).
Data is a toxic asset; I rather give them nothing. But I do understand then they don't want me as customer. Which is why I do have YouTube Premium. But I pay an equivalent to ~2 EUR/month in Indian rupee
Read the rest
s to keep my family (especially my children; I got NewPipe x SponsorBlock x Return YouTube Dislike [1]) advertising free. And as much tracking free as possible while still using Android TV (too user-friendly to give up on) thanks to Pi-Hole and strict Google account settings [2].
Anyway, yeah, it is the creators problem. All too often creators do have a Patreon or Onlyfans or whatever, or they 'borrowed' the content anyway. Though they do get a hit, so it might be Google's problem. Cause they still get hosting and platform for free.

I really <3 the fork with sponsorblock support: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/
and I don't get why the NewPipe devs are against upstreaming it... kudos to polymorphicshade, updates in NewPipe get handed over pretty fast.
In YouTube confirms that it has removed the “sort by oldest/newest” optionOn Android you can also use Firefox with Ublock Origin or the NewPipe app which removes the ads. If you want SponsorBlock, there is a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock included: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases
In YouTube ads appear to be ramping up, with as many as 10 unskippable adsOn Android you can use Firefox with Ublock Origin. I wish SponsorBlock was available though.
The NewPipe Android app is another option and there is a fork that includes SponsorBlock: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases

In Vanced has been discontinuedFor those that aren't aware, there is a fork of Newpipe that implements SponsorBlock, which blocks several annoying segments in youtube videos. I honestly can't believe how much of a quality of life difference it makes for YouTube
