The Android YouTube app by Google used to be a decent way to view YouTube videos. Now it has so much advertising that many find it tedious and unusable.
Is there an Android app that plays YouTube videos, but without all the ads and interruptions?
Requirements:
- Runs on Android
- No advertising videos (one banner ad acceptable, but strongly prefer to have none)
- Ability to search for videos to watch (not just a playlist viewer)
Preferences:
- No advertising at all
- Gratis (free of charge)
- Open-source
- Ability to view what's popular or trending
