Yes, come over to the dark side. I haven’t had any issues so far, except for the whiplash it is to go from YouTube I scrolled for hours every day to using NewPipe which takes two seconds to load a new video. It has made me very mindful of what I want to watch because from searching to watching I need to wait like 10 seconds.
Haven’t dipped my toes into banking apps though. Thats a frontier I’ll deal with when I get to it.
Haven’t tried NewPipe yet. I currently use YouTube for specific videos, and I’m usually operating it from a private tab in my browser through a VPN, rather than the app. (So far I’m not getting served ads that way, although sometimes I have to skip to different countries to get around sign-in nags.)
Banking apps are the one thing that worries me. My prior bank didn’t allow rooted phones to be used for online banking; I haven’t made an attempt with my current phone. Given that I now live in a… Rather remote part of the country, access to online banking is fairly important.
