Switch to ReVanced Extended for a better YouTube experience!

After our beloved Vanced died I tried to keep using it while YouTube let us.

It was then followed by the reVanced project but my experience was simply a constant buffering sh*tshow with some random jump in the video (when the video luckly load).

But....oh boy...The new one ReVanced Extended followed by one of the original revanced is soooo much better. No problem of any sort and everything is working perfectly out of the box (microg, adblock, sponsor skip, backgroup play, ...)

The only thing missing is the cast feature but for now I stay quiet ;)

My fat ass just downloaded the "manager" apk from here and from there I installed the "extended" version: no instructions to follow, no command to inputs...

EDIT: grammar
EDIT2: updated manager apk url, thanks to @gms77

If I was you I'd remove the manager you installed as that is not the official site. There are so many fake sites pretending to be ReVanced and just getting people to install malware. The official site is https://revanced.app/ and the manager should be downloaded from the official Github at https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
There is a full guide for beginners at https://rdt.trom.tf/r/revancedextended/comments/12vxggr/revanced_extended_guide_for_beginners/
or Original Reddit Link

I'll update my apps and the urls in my post ASAP. GitHub always for the win.

Thanks mate!

You are a life savior lol, I was looking for an alternative to Vanced since it recently stopped working for me and of course my first thought was to search for a solution on reddit, but since we are on the fediverse now I gave the search box here a go and bingo, here's the solution and it works wonderfully. Thank you!

I dont know why my reply is not showing up under your commet @Otome
I copy-pasted it here to be sure:

Well my friend, let me tell one thing first: you are EVERYWHERE! I recognize your profile pic at this point xD
Returning to the point. For me it was really easy and I understand your fear of say goodbye to Vanced.

The revanced EXTENDED has a different appid from youtube, vanced and revanced, so the good news is that you can install it and try it without the need of uninstalling anything! I got mine by installing first the apk "manager" here (just scroll down and skip the first download link).

When you open the manager you will have a list of thing to install:
just install the Extended version and remember to install/update microG (always by the manager) if you use your Google account

I'm still on my old vanced install and some days it works and some days it doesn't lol. I've been meaning to switch to revanced but I haven't made the leap yet. how does the upgrade process work? just download and install the new apk? or uninstall first?

I just spend way too much time on social media lol. I spent this much time on reddit as well albeit in more niche communities. profile pics make people more recognizable though, as I've started recognizing a few people haha.

oh, okay that's cool then. I thought vanced did something weird with the default google stuff. but I guess not? and yes, I use my google/youtube account with vanced and plan to do so with revanced. I'll definitely check it out then :)
