Basically Most videos don’t load on first try for me on Freetube. so I have to go back and forth to reload the video hoping this time it will load? they have removed the reload button, and the team are just closing issues on GitHub that demand reinstating the reload button. Plus comments have stopping loading as well.

Invidious doesn’t work half of the times. and piped is dead.

What do you recommend using on desktop. or is paying for youtube Red the only option left?

    Why do people complicate their lives so much?

    Firefox+ublock origin+ privacy badger does it for me.

      ublock origin only blocks ads.

      But if you want a bit of privacy it can’t stop youtube from collecting your data and keeping you in a feedloop bubble.

      With these types of clients yt can’t track you. and everytime i reload the app it’s like I am new user to them they don’t have all my browsing history. plus you can subscribe to channel without logging into yoututbe

      With apps, you can subscribe to channels, keep history, create playlist etc. Not possible with website.
