• Piped

  235 7,516 9.8 Vue

  An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

  

If you like Invidious, NewPipe but want something for desktop or browser in general - check out Piped - https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

So basically it is a way to use YouTube with a proxy server in between. Quoting directly from LibreTube (an Android app based on Piped) -

> With NewPipe, the extraction is done locally on your phone, and all the requests sent towards YouTube/Google are done directly from the network you're connected to, which doesn't use a middleman server in between. Therefore, Google can still access information such as the user's IP address. Aside from that, subscriptions can only be stored locally.

> LibreTube takes this one step further and proxies all requests via Piped (which uses the NewPipeExtractor). This prevents Google servers from accessing your IP address or any other personal data.

> Apart from that, Piped allows syncing your subscriptions between LibreTube and Piped, which can be used on desktop too.

You can also self host it or use an instance like https://piped.video/
