+==== Clients ====
+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
