    Maybe I’m stupid, but I can’t get glide typing to work. I don’t see it in the settings for heliboard.

    Also, is there any reason to switch to newpipe if ReVanced is serving me well?

    Edit: Nevermind, I got glide typing to work! That took some digging. If anybody else has trouble, download this and go to heliboard settings, advanced, and go to the bottom where you can load in a gesture library, which is what I linked to.

      I guess for most people not, but there can be some:

      • privacy: NewPipe doesn’t require you to log on to a Google account (but it so connects to Google servers if you watch YouTube videos). You can, however still follow channels (only locally, obviously)
      • ability to download videos or just audio. An extra is that on ReVanced you can have the download function through a 3rd party app, you can choose from several and NewPipe is one of them.
      • NewPipe can also play content from other sources, like Bandcamp or SoundCloud.

      A reason to not switch would be… the interface is not very ptetty
