I'm only seeing YouTube, Reddit, and YouTube Music in Morphe. I use some other app patches that Revanced Manager supports like ProtonVPN. I'll try both and see which I like better. Thanks!

You're right, it doesn't seem like the board was involved in the golden parachute. Hard to imagine they tried this out of the goods of their hearts but I cannot find anything concrete to say otherwise

They expected this to fail, they gave themselves golden parachutes: https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/16/automattics-interim-ceo-an...

Do you really trust it with a production code base or database? Telling it not to make changes feels an awful lot like "Make no mistakes". I also like how Plan mode on Codex asks clarifying questions. I'm in management now so I've used Work more than Code lately.

What's the benefit of Morphe over Revanced? I've been using Vanced or Revanced for years, but I'm willing to change.

Bad name though, first few results for "Morphe" is a well-known make-up brand.

https://github.com/revanced Download the latest revanced manager and it works fine. I've had no issues but the account I use is on a friend's family YouTube Premium plan so I don't need to rely on the ad blocker.
