What's the difference of NewPipe to ReVanced?

[charcircuit]

Revanced is a mod for the official Android app, where NewPipe is an original app.

In practice this means that Revanced will be much more feature complete than NewPipe.

It also means revanced is legally dicey whereas newpipe is essentially a legal frontend/scraper of YouTube.

NewPipe has many features that the official app doesn’t, such as speeding up videos up to 5×.

NewPipe always works while the weird revanced route worked for me exactly once out of the several attempts on two phones.

Top comment right now says "newpipe breaks every few weeks or so", but revanced builds in my experience last for at least a year before a new build is required. Personally I'd prefer more upfront steps and get a stable result, rather than something that works quickly but breaks often.
