It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

If only they actually worked. Never understand how they get recommended constantly and yet repeatedly I try to use them and they don't work.

I’m using Freetube on Windows, it works like a charm. Feel free to dm me if you need help.

Is that one a desktop app? I primarily use pop_OS and would prefer a web solution. I've tried piped, invidious, peertube, and libretube iirc

I'm with you, and would prefer a browser based frontend for yt that doesn't brick. I see no reason for standalone apps anymore whenever the data is exclusively online. On the other hand, I hate how webapp versions of Excel/Spreadsheets (for instance) are pushed for office software, where the data has no need to live in the cloud. At home I stick with LibreOffice, as the only issue I've had with switching over to it was VBA scripts and macros I wrote over a decade ago not working - and those really needed to be updated anyway.
