What's new since 1.0.0

  • Background playback, including Made for Kids videos and videos opened from a link. It has its
    own switch under Player and does not depend on Hide ads or SponsorBlock. Restart YouTube after
    changing it.
  • A YouTubeHideAds section above Account in YouTube Settings, YouTube-style module pages and a
    Compatibility & diagnostics page with a copyable report.
  • SponsorBlock: a player icon beside autoplay with a floating menu like YouTube's own, ten category
    modes and colors with a visual picker, manual skip/undo, segment preview, submission and voting,
    channel exclusions, statistics, settings transfer, bounded retry and a cross-video cache.
  • Shorts: hide ten individual buttons and panels, and skip live Shorts. Both are off by default.
  • Swipe controls shown as a pill with YouTube's brightness or volume icon, a level and the value.
  • Nine more languages, following YouTube's language: 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Português,
    Русский, 日本語, 한국어, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu.
  • Lighter and faster. The Brainfuck bridge used to reopen the module APK on every policy call,
    which was about 23 % of YouTube's CPU while scrolling and playing; it is now under 0.1 %. DexKit
    results are cached per YouTube build, so after the first launch YouTube shows its first screen about
    0.35 s sooner.

Verified

Pixel 8 Pro, Android 17, Vector 2.2 (libxposed API 102), YouTube 21.42.243: all 11 startup self-check
suites pass and every hook installs, with or without the DexKit cache. Ads and sponsored Shorts were
removed, SponsorBlock lookups and original audio worked, and background playback continued from the
feed and from a link (Home and screen off) and stopped when its switch was off.
Device checks and limits.

Other YouTube versions, devices and 32-bit/x86 ABIs are not certified. The APK is arm64-v8a only.
