viewtube VS CercubePlus

As for my iPhone I now use viewtube.io (you can also self host it if you want) and I am very happy of the result.

Self-host Viewtube and silently redirect all Youtube traffic to it. 😁

After using invidious, then piped, I settled on ViewTube. https://github.com/ViewTube/viewtube-vue better UI than invidious, not as obnoxious as piped.

I run ViewTube having gone through 3 other front ends, and although not perfect, it's the best I've found for my needs. But like you say, the problem I have is I really do not give a flying funk about youtube, and wish there was a way to transparently proxy all youtube requests to viewtube. Short of as you say doing a local DNS entry for youtube and knocking up some kind of certificate, I'm stumped. I have to rely on per-client solutions like UntrackMe or PrivacyRedirect.

Slight aside: try out ViewTube as well. I was running Piped for a few months until yesterday when I found this. I found Piped needlessly complicated, but better than raw invidious. Viewtube for me is the best of both. Still not perfect, but I'm trying to set up a dev environment to contribute if I can atm.

Hi can viewtube be put into the Video Streaming section. https://viewtube.io, https://dev.viewtube.io

Here is for youtube. Hope it helps!

CercubePlus

Try using the latest version if you aren’t already.

Just use CercubePlus at that point

Then I used Cercube, a Youtube mod.

For iOS, there’s Cercube. There’s a few versions of it, I’ve stuck with Cercube Plus.

Also I’d add uYouPlus and CercubePlus, both are jailed YouTube IPAs with looots of fixes for google’s anti-sideloading behavior

Cercube releases are available from the official Git Hub page: https://github.com/qnblackcat/CercubePlus/releases

uYou+ or Cercube+ is recommended.
