If you're on Android or nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5, switch to NewPipe. So much better. You can find it on nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8.

Hmm... never heard of it. How does it work? Is it just fetching the content from yt and serving it to a different front? I know some of the content I'm watching is only being live streamed there.
There's a small gratification to using YT, blocking their ads, and not giving them my IP, but I coulg forgo the "eat dick, bitch" feeling for a better UX 😅
I'm using pipepipe, a fork of newpipe, its working better than newpipe for me
Out of curiosity, what has it got better?
🤔
Fancy stuff. But also is better maintained https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe
Nice, thank you!
And I'm seeing it's also available in nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 !
Cool! 😎
Using it rn. It works fine but I still need to refresh the VPN IP every now and then because they block it
I took a look, but it seems to have just have more fiddly knobs and some additional obscure sources. What am I missing?
YT blocked me recently for using a VPN. Between that and not being able to watch a video unless I'm signed in it's getting frustrating. Love NewPipe!
NewPipe is so much better!
I use opera with ad blocking and that's fine. Chrome with the yt adblock is fine. I'm getting ready to leave YouTube and migrate away from gmail. I've just had enough.
I use Brave with adblock. The problem isn't the browser though, is the VPN. They keep trying to get my real IP, and sometimes blovking the VPNs IP
