With that said, do keep in mind that LibreTube is still in beta, and you may run into bugs. We encountered a few glitches during our brief testing, the misaligned description you see above, for instance. However, we could expect LibreTube to improve over time, so you can give it a shot to see if you like it.

LibreTube mentions (1)

  • hopefully they'll lay off the ads since so many users suddenly can't use ad blockers, but I don't think they will. uBlock origin still seems to work fine.
    Try piped or its android client libretube. Source: 10 months ago

SmartTube mentions (15)

  • YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer
    Protip: You should download a non-stock YouTube app to your TV instead, for instance: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io It has YouTube premium and more, e.g. Sponsor lock, it's over all superior. And free. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • What have you given up due to the cost of living crisis?
    SmartTube is nice for the TV too if you have a firestick or something you can install it on, because as well as getting rid of ads it has sponsorblock built in. Source: 10 months ago
  • Google un-bans Downloader app, but developer still mad about “broken” DMCA
    I think there might be more to this story. This app is what people generally use to sideload apps on a locked Google TV device such as the Google Chromecast. One such commonly sideloaded app is SmartTube, an unofficial YouTube client with no ads and SponsorBlock included: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ I'm not surprised Google is eager to take it down under any pretext, and not so eager to restore it. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • SmartTubeNext 18.15 Stable
    Im talking about this one https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ . If you click "fork me" It takes you to next. On the tv its named "SmartTube" with a red logo. App info gives the package name as com.teamsmart.videomanager.tv V18.15. Source: 11 months ago
  • Kodi and commercials on youtube
    You install SmartTube. Use that and never see an ad again. Https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/. Source: 11 months ago
