You could try grayjay. Worked better for me than revanced but still had the occasional video not loading
Grayjay is great, I'm using it all the time on desktop. It couldn't replace YouTube on mobile for me though, I need MicroG integration
Does it? I installed through fdroid by adding FUTO repositories. As the other comment said, you then change the defaults
I wasn't talking about opening links.
MicroG enables me to sign into YouTube using my Google account, as far as I know Grayjay doesn't support this.
Oh, I sign into google for the age verification in grayjay. I'm not sure if that requires MicroG though.
Keep in mind the sign in for grayjay is only for age verification. It never pulled my subscribed channels or playlists into the app from the youtubr account. As far as I see, it only shows me recently watched videos and channels subbed through grayjay itself.
I am using a non rooted one plus and I was able to set GJ as the default YouTube. I just had to change which links it could open by default. What are you using? This is where I had to make the change.
