    That is honestly a really cool feature. I’d consider myself tech-savy-ish but I always forget what the official Revanced site is. I always have to go to the GitHub. There’s so many fake Revanced sites, it’s crazy!

    Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

      Safe and official are not the same thing. I’m not sure there is any pirate site that is 100% safe when downloading applications. You are always taking an educated risk based on the history of the site, the moderation, the users and the application in question. It is not a good habit to think of things as clean or unclean, safe or unsafe, because circumstances can always change and you need be actively on the lookout for warning signs.

      Commenting so I can follow thread, I have been using 1337 for a good few years and has no idea it got into the bad books.

        What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

          All software from torrent sites should be treated with a wary eye.
