I found myself scrolling a little too much this week while bedridden so I decided to again replace the #YouTube app with #NewPipe and the experience has honestly not been bad.

It's somewhat annoying that the pop-up player is not an actual PiP window but it's not a huge deal breaker in the end. I peeked at the issue tracker and there are well thought out modernisation plans in progress so I'm hopeful the UX will continue to improve over time.
