The federal government asked Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.
I don’t know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.
Edit: Adding “libretube” as well based on some of the replies to this comment.
After hearing about Freetube, I finally set it up and was all on board, got it configured and then was deflated to see it apparently has no queue function? I use that feature on YouTube so much that I just had to stop using it pretty much immediately.
If I somehow overlooked that or it comes in a later development stage, I’d happily move to it exclusively.

FYI Queue/OnTheFly Playlists are already in the Feature Request list according to github, pog
Excellent, thanks for the heads up. Can’t wait to ditch the site.
Either because they’ve never heard of it, they think it’s difficult to set up, or they think it’s less polished or reliable.
I’d go with “because they’ve never heard of it”. It’s no more difficult to setup than any other application. See the download page.

Oh, it’s not, they just think it is. I have personal experience of this.
Are you saying it’s not easy to install? If so, what’s the difficulty?

I’m saying it is easy to install, but people think it isn’t.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, not sure what can be done to improve that. Installation methods are only a click away 🤷
