Nope, it is sn app that can play videos from youtube, peertube, and z few others. You don’t log in to youtube, but you can create subscription lists and playlists and everything. Only the youtube algorithm doesn’t work on you.
Ok, I went to the website, downloaded the app from there. Samsung and or Android warned me about it, but I went ahead. Seems to be legit, it just takes forever to load anything. Feeds, thumbnails, starting a video all take a long time.
My one guess is that 1.1.1.1 is interfering?
Edit: yes, that was it. I allowed Newpipe to bypass 1.1.1.1 DNS and it’s loading just as fast as YouTube itself now. Should have tried that before posting here.
So sad there are no free alternatives such as NewPipe that do exactly the same thing.
Does Newpipe have YouTube videos? Is it an entirely separate video sharing site?

Same content plus more content and ad free? Sign me up!
I mean that I’m going to go download that immediately.
Thanks!
Ok, there are 4 different apps in the Google app store by that name.
It’s not in the store. NewPipe.net and install the APK file.
