As of late, invidious has become pretty much unusable for me. All the instances either don’t work or are very slow, and as nobody knows Crystal more and more bugs keep cropping up (e.g. right now search is broken on all instances).

Are there any alternatives? I know of FreeTube but its client is Electron which is a no-go for me. I also know of youtube-dl, but I’m more interested in a website I can use to watch YouTube while proxied.

    Same here, I love newpipe. It can even do background playing queues, making it great as a jukebox / music player. And it has good resume support, so if you can’t finish a video, it saves your progress.

    But yeah I wish more channels would start using either peertube or torrents directly.

      PeerTube is great but it’s hard to wade through sometimes. A suggestion for anyone who has some spare time: set up a community or two here on Lemmy for posting interesting new videos, peertube links only.
