If you prefer Tubular that’s great. I use NewPipe every day. I don’t mind the sponsor pitches and if I did I would resubscribe to Nebula because it has the kind of stuff I watch.

Nope! I still likey! Getting regular updates, too.

Nope, NewPipe and Tubular are separate projects

NewPipe is more vanilla, primarily focusing on the ability to watch videos without signing into an account.

Tubular takes this a step further, integrating Sponsorblock and RYD. More recently the ability to view full comment threads was added, and the dev has plans to allow sign-in to bypass the more agressive bot checks that YT has been putting in place recently

I use NewPipe every day, it works perfectly.

I never heard of Tubular but NewPipe is still going strong. :)
