This can also apply to peertube instances if you use that.
Newpipe
I have heard Newpipe is good.
It is. Simple too
I have heard about Grayjay. Hopefully they add more options since I am not a fan of Rumble or Odyssey due to the lack of moderation.
on apple devices: play.
Firefox with uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, YouTube Playback-Speed Control, and a Nyancat Seekbar (I guess the last part is not that important to me)
Interesting I use Firefox with Ublock Origin though I also use Invidious a lot. I have to chance instances sometimes though due to google blocking the playback.
Desktop: Freetube. iDevices: Yattee. Android Devices: I’m not sure yet.
Why not Freetube on android?
I have been unsuccessful trying to root my android device. The best I could do was disable some google services and use fossdroid. I may add freetube to the list as well.
I personally prefer pipepipe, but he specified Freetube on desktop, was wondering if there was a reason he didn’t use it on android as well
Probably will at some point, yeah.
Jellyfin
I have heard people suggest Jellyfin and plex a lot in the self hosting communities. Also I just realized it took me 4 days to reply the the comments after I posted. Well better late than never.
Yeah, I definitely recommend self hosting content if you really want to ensure it’s available in the future. I’ve lost track of so many YouTube videos that I used to enjoy, now I grab them to have offline.
Just an update since youtube blocked invidous it has been a lot harder to use, jing rocks is the only one working for me atm. Piped seems to also not not be working. Youtubes illegal monopoly needs to be broken up.
Pipepipe
Same. Here’s the l8nk to it: https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe/
