      My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.

        They don’t care about those.

        They want revanced and other ad circumvention tools out.

        They ARE an ad company, you know?

      And especially any youtube app that blocks ads. OF COURSE Google will never allow Newpipe, Revanced, FreeTube and so on to be installed on Android phones ever again.

        None of those have worked for me on Android since a couple of months.

        Firefox with uBlock Origin is the last bastion, and don’t think that’s not on their radar.
