About this fork:
Due to differences in development philosophy, I forked NewPipe in early 2022 and began independent development based on it.
This means that PipePipe neither receives updates from NewPipe nor pushes updates to NewPipe. They have become two separate projects. Issues that occur in NewPipe don't necessarily happen in PipePipe, and changes made in NewPipe may not be adopted by PipePipe.

It seems that #Android apps can't handle URL-patterns such as tube.* or peertube.* PipePipe#2786 Therefore, it's not possible that my video playback app handles my favorite #PeerTube instances or similar. 😔
Try SmartTube (yuliskov/SmartTube) or PipePipe (InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe). They do a pretty good job of blocking Google's nonsense and just showing you the videos.
