MothraNever heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch
xavier666For Desktop, you can use FreeTube
- Supports all platforms (Yey Linux)
- No ads
- Can create seperate profiles (Helps me with productivity)
- Download the video is required
Only downside
- Can't comment on the videos
Well thank you! I'll look into it. Great timing 👍
VerPoiluYou can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.

Oh more options, thanks! Would you know if watching videos through any of these adds to the official video watch count? It would be nice to still contribute to the engagement metrics for some of the desktop content I watch
