As someone who routinely watches YT through Invidious and NewPipe, I haven't changed my habits.
Yeah, I catch myself sometimes to switch to NewPipe. But sometimes the videos just don't play. And sometimes it works fine
Major bugs usually get fixed pretty quickly- I always check the GitHub to make sure I have the latest version when I have issues. And Invidious can work as an alternative most of the time, but some instances work better than others
Yes, I've experienced that too. Newpipe generally functions smoothly on my phone, working around 98% of the time. However, when I opt for invidious, the videos sometimes doesn't play.
Recently, I've been leaning towards using Freetube more. I've configured it to include invidious in the settings. It appears that it seamlessly switches between different invidious instances, ensuring an better user experience than just using a normal invidious instance.
Was unusable for some weeks once, now fixed again and just works. Sometimes crashes but videos always play
NewPipe user here, and same thing. It's amazing.
