I made a user script that will make a button on each video which jump you to piped, that way you can continue to use YT to manage your subscriptions and see your feed, but you never have to watch to video there
Have you heard about invidious?
Is there a site where you can search for scripts? What’s everyone’s preference for the extension brand (greasemonkey etc)
Would someone be kind enough to explain what piped is?
A piece of software that anyone can host on the internet which allows you and others to watch YouTube without loading their original page full of ads and anti-features, whilst also allowing you to have a certain level of anonymity and improved privacy.
(the anonymity comes from collective anonymity, where you’re harder to make out in the crowd, as YouTube only sees a bunch of people watching a bunch of random videos, but not who is watching)
frontend or scrapper for youtube.
Are you planning to watch some video on youtube on desktop? Instead watch it here: https://piped.video/trending
say for example this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
watch it here: https://piped.video/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
The best thing is you got no telemetry (your data not being tracked), no ads and you can download the video you’re watching. The project is open source on github, and you can host it on your own server if you prefer not have someone in the middle between you and Youtube.
I wonder if there’s a browser extension for replacing YouTube links on every website with piped links. If not, maybe I should write one.
