The sole point of LibreTube is to use piped proxies? Odd, you figure they wouldn’t include an option to make their entire app pointless.
It literally says “disable this only if you always use a VPN” below the button. If you use a VPN, there’s no point in slowing down the thing by using a proxy.
I know it does but you said “That kills the point of LibreTube bruh.” So if you can use a VPN, and there’s no point to slowing it down…it doesn’t sound like disabling it “kills the point” at all, like you first said.
Basically, your two messages contradict each other.
I mean i dont like ads so i use libretube but piped instances for me are too slow like maybe 80℅ of the time. I still try to enable proxy, and disable if vid doesnt load or too slow. I think newpipe also connects directly to YT, but i prefer libretub over newpipe because of design
Piped is much slower than regular YouTube and it’s definitely a serious convenience hit but I guess that’s what you pay for a free (as in beer and freedom) privacy improvement unfortunately.
hmm i dont know but since updating Preloading (under Player settings) to max limit (450s), videos are now more stable when using piped instances (adminforge.de). stable meaning no slow buffers/loading times. there are still some videos that doesnt load at all so i disable proxy if need to watch
