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.
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 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.
