LibreTube has a feature that no other piped/invidious client has, which is to have one auth instance and one view instance. Sometimes videos are not viewable on a specific instance, but this way you can keep all your subscriptions and other settings even when switching to a different instance.

> that no other piped/invidious client has,

If I understand what you are saying, Piped has this. For example I can stream from instance-1.com but at the same time I'm logged into instance-2.com so that I can keep my favourites and settings. See "Instance" section here https://piped.video/preferences particularly the option "Use a different instance for authentication"

Currently, I think for many users Piped is completely unusable due to errors that consistently occur preventing the video from loading.

In my case at least, I can solve this by changing instance in the settings, as explained in my previous comment. Based on my experience, it seems that the less popular instances tend to have less errors. Your mileage may vary though.

Huh, quite a choice to not include screenshots.

I think LibreTube has some nicer features over NewPipe but goddamnit let me disable comments and "Trending" views. I want no feed and distraction.

LibreTube also allows you to directly stream from YouTube without any Invidious or Piped proxy which might be handy when these proxies are slow.

And FreeTube for desktop (just has regular adblock). It's an alternate client with a nice UI with a similar layout to YouTube.

FreeTube also has SponsorBlock built in, actually. I highly recommend it!

Also, I would not call it "adblock". It just comes without ads out of the box, just like most comparable apps.

Is there a FireStick / TV friendly version of LibreTube?
