PipePipe vs Tubular
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
PipePipe
NewPipe, reimagined: faster, more stable, and packed with more features. Beyond NewPipe * SponsorBlock (YouTube & BiliBili) * ReturnYouTubeDislike * Bullet comments / Live Chats * Search filters * Search & sort in local playlists * Filter out unwanted items by keywords/channels/... * Music player mode & Background playing * Sleep timer * Fullscreen gestures * Login to watch restricted / premium contents * … and many minor improvements
Tubular
Tubular is a fork of NewPipe. It comes with all the privacy features of NewPipe, but also adds features from SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike. Like NewPipe, it does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use Tubular, and it's FLOSS.
