Just the thought of installing an app with permissions to patch other applications on my system makes me twitchy. I'd consider it on a dedicated media consumption device with limited shared account information, but on a daily driver I use for authentication, purchasing, etc? No thanks.

Nothing against the developers of it, but it's a tool available for use by others and I'm not going to jump on it any more than I'll install random unsigned browser extensions.

I love revanced, the main thing I miss though is the ability to cast to chromecast through the patched app. So for now I keep both apps installed and switch if I need to cast.

Vanced still works great for me, it can be found on various APK download sites.

I'm sure it has a rapidly approaching expiry date, however.

Does this require root?

I nearly cancelled premium over shorts. They are aweful.
