No ads.
No (direct) YouTube tracking.
No need to sign in for 18+ / age restricted video.
Within the past few days, YouTube's mobile website has changed the player, for me, removing:
- Removing double tap left/right to skip forward/back within the video.
- Removing mute audio control.
- Adding skip forward/back in playlist. A feature I never use (YT's suggestions suck, I curate my own playlist.)
For now, Invidious retains the old player controls, allowing me to mute annoying-ass video and skip forward/back to repeat / bypass interesting / annoying bits.
