This is weird… Where did you get your APK? From F-Droid or their website? The F-Droid version is always one or two versions behind the main repo.
Try updating to the latest version via their website/GitHub.
I get it from fdroid. I might follow your advice and get it from github. I thought fdroid follows GitHub
Edit: maybe I will use accrescent instead of fdroid from now on
Revanced extended still works for me as well
Add the newpipe repository to fdroid for faster updates
Or use a fdroid client like droid-ify where the newpipe repository can enabled with just a toggle and not a somewhat difficult to find url
I use a fork called Bravenewpipe. It adds filters and Sponsorblock. It’s brilliant!
