Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

      I’ve had a good experience with GrayJay. It’s a bit young and missing features but it’s never broken for me.

        Btw, they also have a desktop app, but it’s currently in beta.

        FreeTube is more stable for desktop.

          I’ve been using their GrayJay desktop app, and I’ve enjoyed it so far.

          I haven’t checked out FreeTube but maybe this is the push I need.

            I’ve used it for a few days, but it lacks several fundamental features. Additionally, it’s quite resource-intensive.
