I have advanced protection on my Google account that unfortunately doesn't let me install apps outside Play Store...

I think I can still load NewPipe through usb debugging but not able to have auto updates




If you've advanced protection running then you're a dyed-in-wool Google user (hard core type) so I wouldn't even try.

I'm the exact opposite. I root my Android machines and remove every trace of Google's crappy gumph, Gmail etc. (I don't even have a current Google account.)

I occasionally use the Google playstore but I log on anonymously with the Aurora Store app (not available on the playstore).

I say occasionally because that's true, instead I use F-Droid or Aurora Droid to get my guaranteed spyware free apps. It's a different world - I'm the antithesis of the happy Google user.

Don't try to load NewPipe, in your case it's just not worth the effort (and Google will notice the fact).
