shame it's Electron based. I'm gonna stick with Piped in my browser instead of installing a Chrome tab.
-
I use FreeTube as my "TV". A++ app. Hope they get bookmarked playlists working soon.
-
I haven't been using it long but so far it's fuckin amazing!
-
Newpipe is also great
-
Gonna try this. Know anything similar for mobile (iOS) or Apple TV?
-
There's uYouPlusExtra and YouTubeRebornPlus. I've never tried either though, so I don't know how good they are.

I use uYouPlusExtra and it’s great

There is yatte for iOS.
It is in appstore or test flight(recommending that version).
It is great but it relies on the piped/invidious so your mileage will vary depending on the instance you select.
-
I haven't seen any trustable ad-free YouTube client for iOS though, you can use invidious as a PWA (Add to your homescreen).
-
Haven't seen anything for iOS, there are a few apps like LibreTube for Android though.

Am I missing something or are all video resolutions limited to 1080p?
-
wow its amazing how many Operating Systems Freetube supports. I tried AppImage on Linux Mint. Download. Set execution bit. Starting. Start Watching! Amazing!
-
Even Live Streams are working out of the box!
-
I'm really happy with it here as well, and wish I found out about it earlier.
-
-
It is slow
-
Try a different invidious instance. The one that it defaulted to might be overloaded. It's works great. I'm loving it.

I'm usually against standalone apps for websites, but YouTube is one I definitely use enough to justify it, and Google seems intent on making the experience as miserable as possible. I use LibRedirect to send my browser to Piped instances, but FreeTube is much better for keeping track of my subscriptions.
