      No side loading necessary anymore, you can just download the microg mod and the manager and it works on an unrooted phone. Bonus is that it maintains your subscriptions and lets you log in as an anonymous user. I've had problems with being rate limited with new pipe before, I think Google limits the amount of videos that you can play through their API? Haven't had that issue with Vanced before.

          I always thought side loading was done through the bootloader, I know the older version of Vanced required you to flash it through the bootloader. The newer one is just a standalone apk that doesn't require root.

              Yeah, the new Vanced manager somehow spoofs the Google signature without root access no idea how that's done lol
