You sound like Senku from Dr. Stone. I've been trying to find an extension that opens videos in any player not just mpv
10 billion percent better
Why do you consider not reading comments an improvement? Just asking because I'm curious.
The comments are the best part
Not these comments! /s

The vast majority of YouTube comments are incredibly dumb. I hope the reason is that it's mostly kids.
It heavily depends on the content. While on dumb Videos there are dumb comments and on Minecraft Videos there are childish ones on the high quality of entertainment I watch only perfectly balanced comments are shown.
It's true that they're less "facepalm-inducing" under the smarter videos, but any entertainment video with wide enough appeal is gonna be littered with comments that will make you feel like you're having a stroke while reading them. It usually gets worse if the channel is more family friendly, I assume because the YouTube algorithm serves it to kids a lot more.
The only thing worse than youtube video comments are youtube short comments. Not even reddit can match that level of unrepentant nazism.
i installed karamel and now my comments are from reddit posts that discuss the video i'm watching. i find that to be really helpful.
What's that?
an extension.
Looks like it's only available on Chrome based browsers, oh well.
or you could use a piped instance.
If their self install instructions were worth a shit I might agree with you.
This. I tried to self-host Piped and it was a PITA. I am experienced in self-hosting but setting it up behind a reverse proxy was next to impossible and basically no guides exist.
I did vidious, very easy. Sadly max 720p if you proxy from YouTube and if you proxy from your instance 1080p buffers like mad even on a bidirectional 1gig internet on a gaming PC style server. So back to unlock for me since a lot of my videos watched are 4k
I don't host an instance, so I don't know how hard it is. You can choose any popular instance like kavin.rocks if hosting doesn't seem like a viable option.
I want my life to be 69% better. Did you follow a good guide? Do you recall which guide it was?

Doing that since 2018 methinks, enjoying the gigachad life and refuse to go back to web browser streaming. Glad to see more people are becoming enlightened.
