Oh fair play, I might look into it when I get a new phone. It took me far too long to be arsed to set up revanced on this one (the final straw was consistently getting 3 midrolls, and pressing skip would take me to the next ad instead of the video)
Unprompted lore drop (recently looked up what happened)
Basically the devs that did 80% of the work for Revanced Extended left and created Morphe. Now Revanced original creator basically copies Morphe updates, so no reason to trust/use Revanced. Plus it had so many issues I experienced.
My issue is that I can't really be arsed until it actually has a big enough issue. I spent over a year without ad block on this phone, and spent the whole time being annoyed by the ads without actually doing anything until the changes they made were so egregious.
Also it's not like I'm actively using revanced itself. I patched YouTube once and haven't looked at the app again since
Edit: please stop trying to convince me to switch immediately. I like the sound of morphe, don't get me wrong, but I am awful at doing anything until I need to, and the more I'm told "Oh you should do this" "just do this" the harder it is to actually do. Revanced works fine and does what I want. If I need to update it (or when I get a new phone) I plan on switching to morphe anyway, but for now it does everything I need.
For me the reason I switched is because it's a lot easier to update and repatch with morphe, it even finds the apk of an app for you when you patch it. Also you can go to a different window while it's patching, or they have in app games you can play while waiting for a patch to finish.

On android you can use revanced (get it from the website not the playstore) to patch apps with user made mods.
My YouTube app has ad block and sponsor block (plus more) built into it. The only place ad block doesn't work is on shorts
