| | Youtube's got comepletely unusable for me now. Dunno what combination of [[Firefox]] and ad-blocker settings it is, so I've started using [[Freetube]] for watching videos. It works with redirect add-ons so that videos always open in the program, and you can block channels. On Android I've been using [[Pipepipe]], switched to it after [[Newpipe]] stopped working and was taking to long to release the fixed version. |
| | |
| | Other ones I've seen, some I've tried: |
| | |
| | * YAYC - https://yayc.stream/ https://github.com/yayc-stream/yayc - haven't tried. |
| | * Freetube - Electron. Can block. Can't sign-in, so no watching stuff that needs age verification. Not hideous. |
| | * Pipe Viewer - https://github.com/trizen/pipe-viewer - CLI and GUI. |
| | * PlasmaTube - https://github.com/KDE/plasmatube |
| | * GTK Youtube Viewer |
| | * Minitube - https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube - UI is annoying. Didn't play videos when I checked. |
| | * Some Android ones FIXME |
