  1. Invidious

    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

    Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

    Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

    Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

    Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

    Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

    The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

    ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

    A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

    The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

  3. NewPipe

    A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

    Just use NewPipe. It's just a better Youtube client even if it had ads.

  4. searxng

    SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from various search services and databases. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

  7. dvd

    Download videos from anywhere

    For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.

    (Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)

    For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.

    From the Kotlin source for "dvd":

    Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).

    Features

    Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.

    Run custom yt-dlp commands.

    Update yt-dlp version from settings.

    Share link via other apps.
