Whenever YouTube changes something, newpipe adapts to it within one or two days. Thanks to the devs!

The NewPipe team deserve a Nobel Prize. It might look like an unimportant video player, but it’s one of the last bastion of resistance against he Google monopoly and monoculture, the total invasion of advertisement in every corner of our lives, the privacy violation that always come with Google, and the general enshittification of the internet.

Thank goodness for NewPipe…

Host your own and only get a few friends or family on board to mask your traffic.

In settings, you can disable proxy if you want direct connection to Youtube instead of using piped instances

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.

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
