From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Compatible with PeerTube. Unfortunately there is no login support but you can search, watch and subscribe to videos in the same feed with youtube and whatever else.

Cool!

And it's an official flatpak! I've been waiting for anything better than that portable junk before.

Still need something for iOS. Currently I am using the DuckDuckGo browser app with the build in YouTube proxy player.

Brave works well on iOS for this use case.

We got like a dozen Android YT apps. You should probably just switch.

Jokes on you, I have a second phone with revanced. I switched to iOS after being on Android from version 2-11. It just would be nice to have it also on the iPhone. Or I quit YouTube, by the time it should be full with AI videos….

Sweet! Ive made a beta build of it in nix ive been using for the last 4 months and its VERY buggy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It is indeed, that's why it's labeled Alpha.

Awesome, adding to my current arsenal of alternative clients alongside FreeTube and NewPipe. One less chance for YouTube to force me onto their webpage.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (6 children)

NewPipe stopped work if you use a VPN, LibreTube instances all gone, Invidious few instances are working but not 100% of time, GrayJay most of time asks for login because Google indicates it is a bot

Dark times to watch Youtube

Newpipe currently works fine for me on a VPN. Revanced still works and I haven't patched it in like a year now. Maybe 1/100 videos with freetube will throw a IP block on VPN and usually I don't even need to change it, just reload the page. Occasionally freetube stops working for a few days which I can just use librewolf with unlock if I really want.

I'm not having any problems, other than watching too much YouTube.

It depends on the VPN. Google just blocks anything that it knows to be a VPN IP, so if they dont know the IP yet, they dont block it.
