Hi guys. Basically what title says I have been using YouTube revanced since the beginning but now I'm looking for replacements so that I can get rid of the last Google app on my phone and microg all together but I really hate sensational thumbnails and titles on YouTube and kinda got used to DeArrowed thumbnails

Edit: link for the people who might not know what DeArrow is and might be interested

Yeah I agree. I'd love to get rid of maps, but location history is just way too valuable to give up, and I couldn't find anybody else who does it.

I also really like navigation that's responsive to current traffic levels. Obviously even if someone else provided that, them having fewer users would mean it's not going to be very effective, but I'd be willing to switch to someone else who at least was attempting to do that, even if their userbase wasn't there yet.

Right now though...nobody that I could find even tries to do either of those crucial features.
