☝🏻For those who don’t know:
YouTube Vanced was an alternative YouTube app for smartphones that, among many changes, removed all advertising and included free background playback that YouTube only paid for.
Google put pressure on the developer company and closed the applicationhowever, the project was continued by enthusiasts under the name ReVanced. AND remains working to this day.
Google didn’t like it either and the company went to court and GitHub on which development was carried out completely deleted the repository with ReVanced patches.
However, the developers continued activities on alternative sites.
Now the corporation has taken new steps…
===========
Google Corporation develops Android WebView Media Integrity API, which may interfere with modified YouTube apps.
🔻This API allows websites, built into WebViews, check integrity of android phone. This could allow YouTube to deny you access., if he finds your device unusable.
What will help Google stop blocking ads on mobile YouTube.
YouTube Vanced app, which Google closed last year, could potentially be stopped forever using this API.
The pilot version of the API will be launched in early 2024.🤷🏼♀️
