Yes, and it's been great! I mainly watch my subscriptions now, and the occasional tutorial I have to search for, but I'm glad to not have a bunch of clickbait thrown at me when I first open the app, now I don't get sidetracked or waste nearly as much time on useless schlock.
Google is apparently going full scorched-earth policy by banning the ip addresses of proxy servers. Other frontends are experiencing this issue too, though I will say I used Piped today successfully at 1080p on the official instance so maybe it's working again?
THANK YOU for validating my thoughts on their instructions for installing via a USB or CD. I was so confused as to why it was so prominently featured that way, I thought I was losing my mind.
It should be no more taxing than a web page, so I think you're correct. I have both apps and haven't done a direct performance comparison, but I will say the PWA seems to be just a tad snappier, imo
It stands for Progressive Web App. It allows websites to be treated as a standalone app without having to download it from a storefront. When done well, it's hardly distinguishable from a proper native app. It's a cost-efficient way to create a cross-platform app that works with basically any browser.
