I’m using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

i constantly gotta swap invidious instances because youtube is being relentless in their war against invidious.
but the ui is awesome and I use it every day.
apparently freetube automatically uses a new invidious instance every time it starts up.
It seems to be at random, and many of the instances don’t work correctly. You’re better off finding one that does, and setting it as default.
Or host your own :) less likely to be blocked by Google if it’s just you using it.
Invidious is awesome, if possible, self hosting one in docker is great and keeps it up to date
How do I go about doing that (finding a good one and setting it up)? Its been a month that either the video loads or it doesn’t and when it does work it is extremely slow to the point I can’t watch on 1080p.
honestly I keep a tab open with the list of invidious instances open. because every day I usually have to change the instance. or swap it around.
invidious is fighting youtube very hard, but youtube is fighting back. so its difficult to keep up with.
i would keep an eye on the invidious instances list. and change to a different one if need be.
Thanks for the reply! Just went through the whole list and none of the instances worked for me. I always get: “[invidious ](SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input)”. Googling the error led me to https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/5506 ← There someone posted an unlisted API that works. It seems non official since it is not listed on https://api.invidious.io/ … is that safe to use? Thanks in advance
I just use native API and VPN
