  • Invidious

    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  • Invidious [1] running on your own - or someone else's - server, no ads. Everywhere. You can also 'subscribe' to channels without telling Alphabet about your preferences and without giving them the possibility to 'accidentally' unsubscribe you which seems to be prevalent among some channels [2]. The interface is far lighter than the Youtube uses which makes it possible to watch videos on hardware which chokes out on the rich bouquet of Javascript found in the latter.

    [2] Since I do not have a Youtube/Google/Alphabet account and as such never tried to subscribe to anything I can't prove the veracity of this practice but I keep on hearing people complaining about their subscriptions disappearing

  • ytoff

    Watch Youtube videos offline

  • Just a little plug that I run ytoff: https://github.com/danielbarry/ytoff

    It needs some work, but it downloads a video locally, bypassing ads and great for offline use.

  • yattee

    Privacy oriented video player for iOS, tvOS and macOS

  • Yattee [1] and AdGuard [2] are two solutions I’ve found that can help.
