Since SmartTube was compromised I uninstalled it and factory reset my tv, then I tried the official YouTube app. I didn’t even finish one video before installing ST again. I rather have hackers than ads.
Revanced Extended was created by someone who was contributing to the main Revanced project. It was made as a test bed for new patches and a place for some patches they didn’t think would get accepted into the main Revanced project. That’s where it branched off.
After a while they stopped maintaining their own Revanced Extended patch manager separate from Revanced and just had users point Revanced Manager at their Revanced Extended patches in order to use Extended.
Then a little while later they after that they got most of their patches into the main Revanced project (folded back into the main thing).
They then stopped maintaining Revanced Extended as a separate thing, but they still contribute to the main revanced project.
Granted, this is all info that’s a few years old. Might be out of date or misremembering things.

Is smarttube like revanced ext?
Revanced extended folded back into revanced last I heard. But yeah, Smarttube is kind of like that for Android TV boxes/dongles.
um what do you mean by “folded back”?

There’s also TizenTube Cobalt, but since it’s based on the official YouTube app it ends up being sloooooooow compared to SmartTube…
Also the ads might include malware code! Who knows!
