The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.
Sort of true, except YouTube. I watch almost exclusively YouTube few hours every day. If it opens by mistake in a browser, it is totally unwatchable with ads inserted even in short videos. I hope reVanced will manage to avoid detection somehow, otherwise it is quite hopeless. Yes, I can pay for premium, but the app will be full of stupid crap and no gesture controls.
Youtube in the Browser? uBlock Origin. Never have any ads.
Edit: I am on Firefox.
Installed. Thanks!
Same here. I have yet to experience any issues on firefox+ublock, newpipe, or revanced.

Does it show my subscriptions, etc?
No, it does not access your account at all and stores subscribed channels locally within the app. But there might be a way to transfer your subscriptions over if you can find a way to export them from your youtube account.
You can def export your subs. I did it when I set up freetube originally. So it should just be a question of if the other program will import them.
