YouTube Vanced, a popular program for users who dislike advertisements on the famous video streaming service, is no longer available.
After receiving a legal threat from Google, YouTube Vanced announced its closure on March 13, 2022. While it will continue to function on devices that have it, the service will be deleted from the internet in the coming days.
So, what’s next? We’ve compiled a list of some of the best YouTube Vanced alternatives so you can continue to watch your favorite channels ad-free.
#1 YouTube Premium
Don’t worry, all of the other options on this list are completely free. Use YouTube Premium, the site’s own ad-free subscription, if you want a more straightforward and secure way to watch ad-free YouTube. Along the process, you’d also be helping the folks behind your favorite videos.
YouTube Premium includes ad-free and background play, as well as offline downloads. A monthly subscription costs only Php159 and can be cancelled at any time. If that’s still too costly for you, you can apply for a Php95/month student membership or split a Php239/month payment with up to 5 family members.
#2 Brave Browser
You may be familiar with Brave Browser because of its ability to earn cryptocurrency for free, but it also offers other capabilities, such as the ability to disable YouTube advertising.
The best aspect is that no setup is required. Simply download the app, go to the website, and start viewing on your Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac device.
#3 Pure Tuber
For longtime YouTube Vanced users, this is one of the most popular options. Pure Tuber is a simple-to-use tool that works on both Android and iOS devices. It also has background play and picture-in-picture mode, in addition to being ad-free. Login assistance is also provided.
Pure Tuber is available for download from the Google Play Store.
#4 NewPipe
NewPipe, another popular alternative, has almost all of the same functionality as the standard YouTube app, but without the advertising. The user interface is unique, yet it includes features such as background playback, downloads, picture-in-picture mode, and more.
NewPipe can be downloaded from the official website at https://newpipe.net.
#5 SkyTube
SkyTube works in the same way as NewPipe does. It’s an ad-free version of the open-source YouTube streaming program. You can subscribe to channels, make playlists, bookmarks, and more with it. However, it is only available for Android and may be downloaded from the official website at https://skytube-app.com.
