Invidious and Piped fix this issue. You can use LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to Invidious or Piped.
there's no slowdowns on freetube either
FreeTube is great but I personally prefer a browser-based solution
Yeah. Going with freetube desktop app (flatpak) on Linux.
No slowdown here.
and UntrackMe on android!
UntrackMe is nice, but it's not required for YouTube link redirection on Android as LibreTube and NewPipe natively support opening YouTube links.
Great if you have those apps installed, but UntrackMe also does twitter -> nitter, reddit -> libreddit, and a few other services too
That's true and that's the reason I use UntrackMe.
Makes sense and improves privacy but they're not going to win on speed, not even on Firefox, unless you host a private instance or use a nearby-hosted one.
By default, when using Invidious, your browser loads the video right from Google, you can proxy videos through the Invidious instance but it's disabled by default. Only Piped always proxies videos through the Piped server.
