PipePipe maintains independent path after NewPipe fork
The open-source Android app is described as supporting SponsorBlock, though its project page gives no release timing or feature details.
PipePipe is an open-source Android app for browsing YouTube and other services. Its developer says the project was forked from NewPipe in early 2022 and has since been developed independently.
A Hacker News listing described PipePipe as a NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock. The project page does not explain how that support works or when it was added.
The developer says PipePipe does not receive updates from NewPipe or contribute updates back. The projects now maintain separate issue handling and features, and changes to NewPipe may not be adopted by PipePipe.
The project description says users can configure when login cookies are used. For YouTube, cookies are used only to retrieve playback streams, according to the developer.
