I installed the open source app ``NewPipe'' that allows you to watch YouTube for free without ads or tracking

' NewPipe ' is an open source app that allows you to use video sharing services such as YouTube and

PeerTube without annoying advertisements. I actually tried introducing NewPipe to an Android smartphone, which does not use Google libraries or YouTube APIs and does not require login with a YouTube account.

The following is the GitHub repository accessed from the above link using Google Chrome on Android. In addition to Japanese, there are also pages in Okinawan (Uchinaguchi).

The main installation methods are to use the free open source app store '

F-Droid ' for Android, or to download the APK file directly from GitHub. Here, we will obtain the APK directly.

You will be redirected to the page below to download the latest APK file.

Tap Continue Download.

Tap Open.

Tap 'Install'.

Tap 'Open' to open the app.

I was asked if I would like to allow notifications, so I selected 'Do not allow'.

It is now ready for use.

NewPipe's official website has been removed from Google search results due to deletion requests, and it cannot be installed from Google Play, but as of the time of writing this article, the open source project is still ongoing. You can use the app by installing it on your device using the method described above.
