Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube (www.popsci.com)

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

Agree. Just have to build up the sub list and enjoy. Most creators offer an alternative way to support them in the description.

Also, am I the only one getting better sound quality with Freetube than with Youtube?

I've been using it since YouTube stopped allowing adblockers.

Have been using it a while since the browser fiasco. It's awesome but the workflow has a few niggles:

I'd love a theater mode that uses the full width of the window but still allow the title and comments below. No sidebar or scrollbar besides the video, more like MPV.

Also LibRedirect isn't perfect with embedded videos. I'd just like to have a link I can click so it opens in FreeTube.

And links from the browser are always opened in the first active window instead of opening a new window.

No Android version of it yet, eh? Damn.

ETA: I previously tried Vanced, but it didn't work correctly.

Try GrayJay, works great in my experience and has all the stuff (background play, no ads, downloads, etc). One issue I had with ReVanced was casting didn't always work for me, GrayJay seems to be able to cast to my shield without missing a beat.

FT-Sync (in beta) has just been released.
Also on the dev's website (in French)

I think Linux only, and between desktop clients, no mention of Android.

Also manual install, but it's not too hard.
