viewtube
▶️ ViewTube: The open source, privacy-conscious way to enjoy your favorite YouTube content.
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.
