youtube_rss VS documentation

Of course, it's a bit tedious to do that a lot, so I eventually coded my own application that circles through different circuits with each request. That way, if one operation is blocked, it you just retry and it usually works. The advantage is you don't need to redo all the web interface navigation, since navigation as such is done in a local application instead.

I'm a bit of a YouTube-junkie, but I don't like Google because they're super invasive when it comes to privacy. So to be able to comfortably and anonymously follow my favourite channels without a Google account, I made my own YouTube client, youtube_rss.

Use an open source YouTube client that doesn't show adds instead. I coded my own, that suits my personal needs perfectly, but for most people, who want a graphical interface, I would recommend using something else, e.g. FreeTube.

Invidious, it's privacy front-end to youtube (open-source ofc). Check which instance fits you: https://github.com/iv-org/documentation/blob/master/Invidious-Instances.md

In some countries that are not modern, developed liberal democracies and don't have guaranteed civil liberties, the right of free speech, and privacy laws, government authorities might investigate and prosecute users connecting to the types of sites you mentioned and other types of sites if the government has outlawed or blocked them e.g., BBC News, SkyNews, YouTube, etc., which is exactly why users in such countries use Tor to connect to clearnet and legitimate onion sites — to circumvent blocking and evade detection and prosecution (note: some users of Tor in any type of country predictably might choose an Invidious Instance to watch online videos.)

Use Tor Browser to preserve your online anonymity and privacy and to evade tracking by Facebook, Google, and other legal or illegal trackers. Invidious example: in list, connect to any link, e.g, this link. In the search bar, enter Queen of England and press . Take you pick of videos about Queen of England across multiple pages. No tracking. No ads. Privacy.

Hi. You might want to check Invidious’ FAQ. It answers your question (spoiler: no). Next time, you might want to refer to a project's documentation before asking Reddit to do this for you. ;)
