If you want a good front end alternative to youtube, try freetube on pcs and newpipe on android
Also there is https://piped.video/trending for watching in browser and Revanced on Android
And for anyone using YouTube Music there is Desktop app for Linux,MacOS and Windows https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music
There is libretube for using piped as an app on Android
Yes, but for me sometimes video doesn't load so I prefer NewPipe/Tubular
If you use the default piped instance then it's usually overloaded. You can either try finding an alternative or just host your own, personally I do the ladder I rented a VPS for 20 bucks a month and I host my own pipe there
Ok, thank you for advice
Revanced is fucky nowadays. I haven't been able to fix the issue where videos randomly stop buffering until you reopen them.
Did you update patches and which YouTube version apk you patched?
Suggested YT apk is V.19.16.39
I am using 19.11.43 and for me it works great
SmartTube on Android TVs!
To add on to this for iOS/macOS/iPadOS if you use safari you can send YouTube to your TV through airplay. Skips all the ads and if you use sponsorblock skips that too, so if you are too lazy to install smart tube this is a setup that works nicely.
Or use Yattee with this guide: https://gonzoknows.com/posts/Yattee/
FreeTube is on Android too.
...no it's not?
Edit: yes it is
is, but it's just a webview
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/io.freetubeapp.freetube
What do you mean by "just a webview"? As far as I know, FreeTube does not exist as a web client that can then just be displayed in an in-app browser.
as far as I see freetube is just written in html, css and Javascript, then all of that thrown into an Electron app. you can run these elements without Electron in any browser, it just won't have access to as many device features as the app does.
I've built a web version here from the source just to try it out. it's somewhat buggy but it does work
Ah, thanks for the info - I wasn't aware of that.
Yes it is: https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid
Works well, and you can sync history, playlists etc with SyncThing.
Damn bro, I'm going to have to start using it then
