    SmartTube is pretty good on AndroidTV: SponsorBlock, DeArrow, no ads, etc.

    At least while we’re still able to sideload… 😔

      We still can sideload even after the side loading changes, although in quite annoying fashion, but will still be possible.

        This is a fair point. But I thought there was some uncertainty surrounding signed binaries, Play force-scanning APKs (regardless of source), and such?

      FTFY. Being restricted to a manufacturer’s ‘approved’ list of apps is not normal, and should be called “cuckinstalling” or something similarly pathetic and offensive.

      Seconded.

      Unfortunately doesn’t stop Google from screwing with third-party YouTube apps now and then. Had a few instances where SmartTube would not load all the channels I’m “subscribed to”, but an update fixes that instantly.
