What do you use to private watch YouTube?
What do you use to private watch YouTube?
Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?
You're viewing a single thread.
Grayjay on my Android phone. I like that it supports a lot of different services, and I have subs on Odysee, Rumble, and Nebula (I pay for a sub there). I sometimes download videos for offline use if I'm going to listen on my commute or something (no point in using up data if I don't need to).
On my desktop/laptop, I just use YouTube directly w/ uBlock Origin on Firefox (to block ads) without logging in. I don't watch much YouTube on my desktop/laptop, and when I do, I'll just look for a specific video or whatever.
I also have NewPipe installed on my phone for when I want to find something specific (i.e. background music or something), because Grayjay's search kind of sucks.
Not Foss so if that's something that matters to you I would recommend you look elsewhere
Grayjay is source available, which is better than nothing. I'd prefer FOSS, but the features make up for the poor choice of license.
So is Windows XP
That doesn't mean much
It's really not. Windows XP had its source leaked, it's not source available. Grayjay is source available, so I can see every new commit before it hits my phone. That's a pretty big difference, and it's the most important when it comes to public security audits.
You aren't legally allowed to do anything about a bad commit so it is meaningless
That doesn't follow. If there's a bad commit in Windows 10 or 11, I won't even know about it. If there's a bad commit in Grayjay, I can:
- not upgrade, or downgrade to an unaffected version
- report the issue on their issue tracker
- technically violate the license by patching it myself and building my own copy (probably fine provided I don't distribute changes)
I can do exactly none of that with most proprietary software, so this source-available license is much better than those. Again, it's not ideal, but considering it the same as every other proprietary software license is absurd.
