Don't know if you knew this, you can use RSS to get feeds of the channels you want without subscribing or even having a Google account.

Good in-browser add-on for following, organizing etc. of RSS feeds: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/feedbroreader...

I use the RSS feeds with Elfeed for Emacs which allows me to search, filter, and modify feed entries as they are fetched. Additionally, you can use an https://invidious.io instance - which also provides RSS feeds - to avoid sharing any personally identifiable info to YouTube. I've setup elfeed to provide a keystroke to watch the videos ad-free using mpv. All together, this is a much more privacy and attention respecting way of consuming videos.

Interesting! That's the first project written in Crystal I've encountered in the wild.

The feedbro extension can also filter with a bunch of criteria, set off by configurable triggers and a decent set of actions.

No need for a plugin. Just add the channel ID to this link:

  https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
And add that to your RSS reader.

I get everything in perfect chronological order, including livestream schedules.
