advertisers can say anything, but your content must follow the rules

Since SmartTube was compromised I uninstalled it and factory reset my tv, then I tried the official YouTube app. I didn’t even finish one video before installing ST again. I rather have hackers than ads.
Is smarttube like revanced ext?
Revanced extended folded back into revanced last I heard. But yeah, Smarttube is kind of like that for Android TV boxes/dongles.
um what do you mean by “folded back”?

It was created by someone who was contributing to the main revanced project as a test bed and place for some patches they didn’t think would get accepted into the main project. That’s where it branched off.

After a while they stopped maintaining their own patch manager separate from Revanced and just had users point Revanced Manager at their patches.

Then a little while later they after that they got most of their patches into the main project (folded back into the main thing).

They then stopped maintaining revanced extended as a separate thing, but they still contribute to the main revanced project.

Also the ads might include malware code! Who knows!
There’s also TizenTube Cobalt, but since it’s based on the official YouTube app it ends up being sloooooooow compared to SmartTube…
