So invidious isn’t working well at the moment, neither is piped. So I’m wondering what the best options are to watch YouTube right now?
Vinegar (app)/vinegar extract (if you’re using adblockers) and safari. You can get rid of ads and support a small developer for like $2 I think.
Big thanks, just bought this and already liking it. Haven’t tried casting yet but I hated how the cast button in the official app casts to the youtube app on my roku because the roku app shows an ABSURD amount of ads, way more than any other official youtube viewing option. I’m guessing this will allow me to use the normal iOS casting
I use Adguard premium i think that’ll work come to think of it, it’s a shame really that YouTube had to go to such lengths to try and stop people from not paying them to rid their site of ads
Firefox focus plays without ads
I’ve noticed that when you play a youtube video WITHIN the Messages app, it doesn’t play ads. So you could text yourself a link to the video
Orion browser works good for me on iPad, no ads for years
Just self host invidious or use an invidious instance that is maintained? My self hosted one works just fine
Genuine question as I also self host invidious, but are they any privacy benefits compared to the official YouTube website (with vinegar)? I am assuming it is very limited as I am the only person using the instance, from my home ip address.
I do prefer the minimal ui from invidious, but the container occasionally crashes
