Does pipepipe (fdroid) proxy videos before sending it to the users device? Pipepipe is a fork of Newpipe a YouTube frontend which proxies videos to preserve user privacy.

No, PipePipe and NewPipe work the same way and load the data from YouTube’s server by extracting the information they need (including the video stream) from the website. Piped is a project that uses NewPipes’ extraction but puts it on the server side. Piped has to be hosted on a server but that server extracts the information from the website and then sends it to the client, thereby proxying it to you. With Piped, your device never contacts the YouTube servers itself. LibreTube is a FOSS Android app, that’s also on F-Droid, that uses Piped.
IDK but thx for the info 👍👍
