    Unpopular opinion here: YouTube

    Note: Been using it through my Brave browser and also without any account. Hence, why I’m still loving it

      I’m using it through Freetube app. I has in built subscribe lists and I can save videos to a watch later list or other playlists. I have a ancient laptop that I’m using, youtube in a web browser is sloooooow and awful. Youtube in Freetube is fast and easy, because it doesn’t do all that tracking and whatever else bullshit.

        I have tried many YouTube apps too. I have used these previously: LibreTube, ReVanced YouTube, NewPipe, PipePipe, Tubular, GrayJay. But I just liked to use YouTube in-browser most. It’s what I’m most comfortable with and it’s less addicting this way for me.

          Yeah I wouldn’t have any problems with using it in the browser, if it didn’t slow my shitty laptop to a crawl. Freetube lets me use it while watching/listening to a video. The privacy etc stuff is just a bonus on top

          Yup I use revanced on the mobile, though I fear they will go tits up soon, with all the infighting and drama amongst them. Luckily the people who left revanced team are continuing the work under a different name, that I have already forgotten but shouldn’t be too hard to find.

          I use Freetube on the laptop only. Freetube also has built in sponsorblock, remove shorts, adblock and all that good stuff.

          I have tried ReVanced. As far as I know, it’s the best mod of YouTube. If you wanna use YouTube in an app with account and if you also want Dislike count then this is the one to use.

          But I prefer using YouTube in-browser and without any accounts, so ReVanced YouTube is not for me but still good choice.
