Its very funny to me that I only learned about Invidious recently because youtube is trying to take it down. I will never open youtube ever again. Ive been using addblock/tracking blockers for a decade at this point but now I don't even have to look at their shitty website with its ever degrading interface.

You can't stop the signal. Fuck you Google.

I used to use Invidious on my desktop and NewPipe on my Android phone. Even tried FreeTube for a while. Everything worked great except managing subscriptions was a pain. Each device needed to be updated manually.

Then I discovered Piped and now use this exclusively. It's open-source, blocks ads, has SponsorBlock, and subscriptions. You can use it any browser and use the LibreTube Android client.

All the benefits of FreeTube, Invidious, Newpipe -- with the added benefit of subscription sync across all devices.
