      It’ll never be in the play store either because the play store terms of service forbids apps that interfere with Googles revenue streams.

        Kinda wish it was open source though. Sure, the source code is available on GitLab, but if you read the license you’re expressly forbidden from modifying it

          They explained that they fear malware infected clones would damage their reputation at this early stage and draw unwanted attention while they build a user base.

          Not sure I agree, but they at least explain the thinking behind it.

      It was on Fdroid for me? What app store are you looking on? Also, libretube is another frontend on Fdroid. A little more buggy than newpipe, but it proxies YouTube requests if you don’t/can’t use a VPN.

        I think it’s pretty fair to assume “app store” in a context like this refers directly to Google Play Store lol…
