    NewPipe (mobile), FreeTube (desktop), SmartTube (TV). If you did not know about these, you’re welcome.

        How does it fair against LibreTube? As that’s what I’m using right now on my phone, I’ve had no issues with it thus far.

          A fellow libre user! What instance do you usually run as I have been having issues with instances and the videos not loading.

          I’d say stick with what works for you. I will say that NewPipe does not even touch your Google account. You have to go to takeout to export your playlists and then import them into NewPipe. Since I’ve found all three (for all three platforms), the only way I watch YouTube now is through them. Ads are a foreign concept to me now.

      I looked up NewPipe on the Google Play Store. First, there’s, like, four different options that are suspiciously similar. I click the one with 4.4 stars (others had, like, 2), and it says it collects and shares location data with third parties, and this data can’t be deleted?

      Yeah, I’m gonna have to say no to that.
