    My PC is just Firefox with uBlock. I don’t remember the last time I had an issue. Maybe last summer?

    My phone is Revanced. As I said videos weren’t loading. I went into the manager and it said there was an update available. I clicked Download. It asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked Install. Videos now load perfectly fine on my phone.

    I use SmartTube on my Firestick for my TV. I’ve had one issue since I downloaded it last fall. A quick google/reddit search brought up an update a day or two before. Someone had the Downloader number. Open firestick, open Downloader app, put in number, download updated Smarttube, youtube worked perfectly.

    Nothing I’ve done has taken more than a couple minutes at most to update if anything went awry. I think in the little over 8 months I’ve been using these I’ve maybe had a grand total of 4 times I had to update something. I’d have spent more time watching an unskippable ad than it took to update my phone’s Revanced this morning.

    Revanced took me a little bit to get working on my phone the first time I was trying to get it set up. I watched a youtube tutorial (Ironic I know) how to get it set up and once it was working all I’ve had to do was update the manager from time to time, which I can do in-app.

      Ok so we just have starkly dissimilar experiences, unfortunately for me it has been way more hassle than what you have experienced.
