Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube

I’m not sure it’s the “best” way, but it’s a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

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.

Grayjay and Freetube are both fine but different.

For some reason, Freetube currently works well, Grayjay needs iOS fallback and barely works.

Grayjay follows the bigger, already implemented idea of combining multiple platforms. This is a great UX and smooth fallback when Youtube blocks again, or permanently.

It also allows commenting, livechat, and has its own rating system.

Also, it has Sponsorblock integration.

You can donate to them, can't you?

Thanks for the reminder: Donate link

Other benefits:

  • Multiple subscription profiles, so you can organize your subscribed channels into groups. "I want to watch stuff about cars and motorcycles - I choose 'Motoring.'"
  • SponsorBlock
  • No stupid recommendations to drag you into despair, hate watching, and misinformation.
  • Ability to never show shorts.

Downside:

  • Max 1080

Seeing how I invested in an 144Hz monitor instead of a Hi-Res one, I see no issues here!

Will check it out!

And I use Enhancer for YouTube™ on desktop Firefox on my Bazzite PC.

And Tubular on my Android phone.
