FreeTube – The Private YouTube Client

I got that big warning about having 2 videos left before being locked out of youtube viewing due to running an "ad-blocker", that was last week, I've not watched a video on the site since.

I just download it with yt-dlp or throw it in to mpv. If those stop working I'll probably just stop watching youtube altogether since I only watch maybe 6-10 vids a week anyway. This "app" does look quite good, but for how long it will work if g**e keeps making it difficult I don't know.

This might be useful to you. Alternative YT frontend with many instances. Usually the only third party connection is to googlevideo.com, which is unavoidable, if you want videos from YT.

Sometimes a video might not play or might not be downloadable. Simply switch instance, maybe to an instance in another country, and try there.

I have logged out. Also tried yt-dlp but logging out and web is easier for search etc.
