Google took down vanced for some reason and then reVanced popped up which is exactly the same as far as I can tell, and for some reason they don't seem to care about that one.
I haven't used (re)Vanced, but I like some of NewPipe's features, like controlling brightness and volume by sliding my finger on half of the screen, as well as picture in picture.
F-droid has a bunch … like PipePipe, LibreTube, SkyTube, NewPipe.
I only use f-droid, so it could be that google doesn't allow them in play store. But using f-droid got a lot easier in modern android. After you allowed a store to insrall an app, it doesn't have to ask for permission to install subsequent updates, which allows hassle-free background updates.
IzzyOnDroid repo also has Tabular, which is NewPipe with SponsorBlock.
