So invidious isn’t working well at the moment, neither is piped. So I’m wondering what the best options are to watch YouTube right now?
I’m using safari with adguard and vinegar, not logged in. works pretty well, especially being able to choose “audio only” and listening in background
Personally, I use it through Safari with Wipr 2. Wipr’s developer is pretty active and responsive too. Another option is using Adguard Pro. Vinegar is a good option too, but it’s developer suggests us to use a different adblocker and use Vinegar for it’s main purpose of forcing the native HTML 5 player. If you’re okay with Brave’s crypto shenanigans, it works well with YouTube too.
I use YouTube almost always signed out. Along with icloud private relay enabled, it does minimise the amount of data that Google can collect. I would prefer to use Invidious or Piped, but they bug out quite often with YouTube playing a cat and mouse game.
Searching the Video with Andi and watching it in the search result, anonym, sandboxed and random proxie, without ads.
in my experience vinegar was great but slower than wipr2
Orion browser works good for me on iPad, no ads for years
Brave browser on iOS has ad block and can extract videos into playlist for offline viewing
Use the official app?
