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.
Does Newpipe have YouTube videos? Is it an entirely separate video sharing site?

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.
Ok thank you.
