Revanced for youtube
https://www.reddit.com/user/Cryptlsch/comments/1ejh5id/revanced_installation_guide/?share_id=0HFqkGb3T1nUQ4anXjiEr
I tried it but the revanced edition only eliminates ads but all tracking and bloat is still included.
When you say u wanna debloat youtube, what do you actually debloat?
Removing all bloat (unnecessary connections and telemetry) while still allowed to use the essential features like login, comment, result filtering, etc.
NewPipe (or Tubular if you like the sponsor skipping that is also available in revanced) might be something for you? Although it might be too little bloat for you as you can only read comments and not comment yourself
Well then u gotta fight a case with google itself i guess cuz it isn't possible to deblaot specifics connections and telemetry because without those i don't think youtube would even work
U can still use newpipe tho
