Yep NewPipe works with various video sources and Vanced is not youtube revanced, you can do a lot of things (called patches) to have a incredible youtube app.
Here you can see all the patches possible in YouTube Revanced : https://revanced.app/patches?s=com.google.android.youtube
I suggest for all to uninstall Newpipe and try YouTube Revanced. (or LibreTube for a privacy-friendly youtube app)
I don’t see the advantage of using newpipe when you can get youtube revanced.
Piped on desktop
LibreTube and YouTube Revanced on Android
uyou+ on iOS
SmartTubeNext on Android TV
youtube-webos on LG webOS
