    Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.

    I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

    The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.

    I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.

      I wasn’t even aware there was an Android version of FreeTube. It’s just what I use on the PC usually.

        Yep, someone thought of porting the awesome Freetube app to Android. It’s not as polished as NewPipe, but gets the job done. Especially at this time, it’s the only one that is working, having both a local API as well as option to use Invidious API.

        I pulled the apk straight from their github page via Obtainium. You may want to give it a try.

          This crypto bros do a REALLY good job of staying in front of YouTube ads.

          I said brave because it’s easy and default. If you want to get people into FF you should name plugins.
