Freetube : Youtube videos, trackers and ads free for desktop computers

FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop.

FreeTube est un client YouTube pour Windows, Mac et Linux conçu pour une utilisation plus privée de YouTube. Vous pouvez profiter de votre contenu et de vos créateurs préférés sans que vos habitudes soient suivies. Toutes vos données d'utilisateur sont stockées localement et ne sont jamais envoyées ou publiées sur Internet. FreeTube recueille les données en récupérant les informations dont il a besoin (à l'aide de méthodes locales ou en utilisant l'API Invidious). Avec de nombreuses fonctionnalités similaires à celles de YouTube, FreeTube est devenu l'une des meilleures méthodes pour regarder YouTube en privé sur un ordinateur de bureau.

https://calckey.social/notes/9el0v5d2do nyaa@calckey.social - #Google is starting to roll out ad blocker prevention on #YouTube, Google does phased rollouts, so it might take a bit for it to affect you.

But you have options still, here's a few of them:

Piped: #Piped is a website frontend to YouTube that you can make an account on and store watch history, subscriptions, and playlists and share them with others. It blocks ads, has SponsorBlock by default. The GitHub is here (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped). I recommend Adminforge (https://piped.adminforge.de) or Hostux (https://piped.hostux.net). You can use LibreTube (https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube) on Android to sync your playlists and subscriptions, and Yattee (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yattee/id1595136629) on iOS to do the same.

Invidious: #Invidious is a website frontend to YouTube, I do not know much about this one, but it is similar to Piped with some technical differences. YewTube (https://yewtu.be/feed/popular) is one instance that I know, and here is the Invidious GitHub (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious)

NewPipe: #NewPipe is a client for Android that can load YouTube without ads, and works entirely locally. Despite the name, it is not affiliated with and can not connect to Piped. Here is the GitHub (https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe), and it is also available on F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/)

FreeTube: #Freetube (https://freetubeapp.io/) is an ad-free desktop client for Windows, Mac, and Linux that can load YouTube and stores subscriptions and history locally.

For most of these options, you can export your YouTube subscriptions at https://takeout.google.com and can import them into them.

Da #Alternative/n zu #YouTube hier aus bekannten Gründen sehr beliebt sind, habe nochmal im #Kuketz-Blog geguckt: ➞ YouTube: Datenschutzfreundlich & ohne Werbung
Ok, um das #Video zu sehen, öffnet man einen neuen #Tab. Schade, aber könnte ich mit leben. Joa, mit #720p Auflösung vielleicht auch. Ich bin viel auf Künstlerseiten, etc. unterwegs. Wie sieht es aber mit der #Monetarisierung für #Künstler, #Influencer, etc. aus, wenn ich Alternativen zu YouTube nutze? #Frage: Weiß da jemand mehr? Finde ich persönlich nicht ganz unwichtig.

#Anxiety kicking in:

The #web is dead, websites don't exist anymore, all there is are toxic content platforms and unreadable, often harmful malware noise (i.e. lacking information) masked as "websites".

What's worse, a good web browser doesn't exist, plus browsers cannot be installed or compiled on my OS due to #bloat. For the "web" without #javascript there are still usable browsers such as Netsurf or Lynx.

So, I'm thinking a radical step needs to be made:

I need to leave the JavaScript web. Sadly, this is not so easy to do, because:

  • I love the diaspora community, it's my only place to communicate with like-minded individuals, without censorship. But it requires JS. What to do? I'm thinking about moving to #GNUSocial again.
  • As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of need #YouTube, e.g. for learning #spanish from videos and watching genuinely interesting and enriching videos. #Freetube isn't an option, it doesn't work on my OS due to #bloat. I'm thinking about creating a set of scripts that would utilize #RSS, yt-download and maybe even SponsorBlock database and #ffmpeg to download me latest videos from the channels I want to follow.
  • The open console communities which use JS-based "websites". Without JS they become read-only. I could live with that probably.
  • Here and there JS is useful and actually needed, e.g. I want to play online #chess with #lichess. Also I sometimes need to do banking and similar stuff. Here I think I should just address each of these specifically, replace everything I can with offline programs (e.g. play against stockfish offline) and just fall back to a web browser if I really need to (banking etc.).
  • Simple browsers lack support for addons such as ad blockers. But there are way around, e.g. via /etc/hosts.

If I could manage to do these, I would just switch to a nice no-JS browser with #wiby as a search engine while still having a fallback JS browser installed. It seems like a lot of work, but let's see.
