Joke is on them, i only ever use NewPipe (or freetube on desktop)

I've been trying to get ReVanced working on WSA and it force closes at start.

Going to give newpipe a try, thanks!

Have you tried installing the MicroG package?

yeah its installed! I even downloaded the specific version of youtube the patcher wants, IDK what I'm doing wrong

Do I need to patch on my phone and then use that apk on the PC?

I think that would be better. Try a tablet version of the patches...

Stop screwing around and just get newpipe or libretube. The UI is a lot simpler and they are much more stable at the moment.

Discovering freetube was the best thing of my video browsing life. It works so well it's incredible Feels good to not be continuously tracked while watching videos.
