alternative-frontends VS invidious-updater

use alternative privacy-focused frontends: https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends

I use nitter and proxigram to query RSS feeds.

I use something similar to this, the only differences are because my use case is privacy protection and avoiding algorithmic feeds. I use the Redirector extension for Firefox so that it redirects e.g. Youtube, Twitter, and StackOverflow links to the corresponding alternative frontends Piped, Nitter, and AnonymousOverflow. You can find maintained lists [1] [2] of such projects and their instances. Mostly they are FOSS and privacy-respecting, and they have distraction-free frontends because it's a helpful coincidence of being ethical software.

There are front end alternatives for major sites if you really need that btw. I use from time time to time Invidious when I want t o see a YT video for example. As for sites that require tracking cookies to work I simply stopped using them. If a given site requires the use of intrusive "necessary" cookies I just stop using it. I'm convinced is about priorities. If you quit a browser that is safe because is slow, well, you need to re-estate your priorities imho (not you, op, anyone ;) ).

Invidious: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

YouTube alternative frontends (web-based): - Invidious - Alternative and privacy respecting YouTube frontend. - Piped - An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design. - LibreTube - An alternative frontend for YouTube, for Android using Piped. - ViewTube - ViewTube is an alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend written in Vue.js - Youtube-Local - browser-based client for watching Youtube anonymously and with greater page performance.

It's an alternate front end to YT content without YT tracking or advertising. Works for some depending on reason.

https://github.com/iv-org/invidious FOSS frontend for YouTube, loads of public instances available

There's MeTube for downloading, but if you're seeking to watch videos and playlists then maybe Invidious is what you want.

You could also selfhost an ad-free YouTube frontend like Invidious.

Invidious (an alternative front-end of YouTube) is written in Crystal: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

That's a nice one. Also, there is Piped / Invidious which you can self-host and run or use a public instance like - https://pipedd official instance of Piped). It has no ads and tracking by default, supports 4K playback, integrated SponsorBlock (block in-video sponsor ads by content producers) and many other features.

you can use frontends for reddit and youtube if you just want to browse. for reddit, you can use libreddit. for YouTube, you can use invidious. this will make it so that your machine never sends requests directly to reddit or youtube. if you want apps, then there's newpipe, vuetube, libretube(all for android).
