very hush hush, but there's this app called New Pipe, available through F-droid
Google copied the ability to download multiple apps at the same time from F-droid. They're scared.
Copied what? The ability to multidoulwnload? Like what's been in Chrome for... forever? Of Firefox.. Or Internet Explorer.....Or BitTorrent?
Don't get all high and mighty acting like F-droid invented the concept.
...
Play store is preinstalled on billions of devices, F-Droid is only used by a bunch of (very based) nerds.
Google is most definitely not scared of F-Droid
...
NewPipe seems to be unmaintained now, use the fork Tubular instead.
Newpipe is in active development and just updated a few days ago, they just have a slow release schedule.
I use tubular and it's great, but Tubular itself is still subject to newpipe's release cycle.
Not sure why people started thinking newpipe is unmantained, this is the second time I hear it here on Lemmy
Because it has been unable to load comments and constantly shown errors for several months now.
