Auch deswegen nutze ich YouTube nicht direkt, sondern Links über @invidious* oder nutze es mobil via @newpipe*, um Videos zu sehen und so weit frei vom Tracking zu sein. Leider sind noch nicht sehr viele anregende Videoproduktionen im Fediverse zB auf @peertube vertreten.
I loaded up #NewPipe on my dinky tablet with the setup I had before November 2022, when I purged all Youtube channels from my NewPipe setup on my phone, and went #PeerTube-only.
I was expecting to see all kinds of high-quality #YouTube content that I was missing.
EGAD NO!!!
My old feed is full of just nonsense! Silly things people do for attention (even when they're talented and artsy), random clips that I just don't need, just tons and tons of wasted time.
FreeTube: #Freetube (https://freetubeapp.io/) is an ad-free desktop client for Windows, Mac, and Linux that can load YouTube and stores subscriptions and history locally.
For most of these options, you can export your YouTube subscriptions at https://takeout.google.com and can import them into them.
#37c3: Wusstet ihr, dass ihr #NewPipe von YouTube auf media.ccc.de umstellen könnt? Da könnt ihr nicht nur die Aufzeichnunge alle sehen, sondern auch die Livestreams. Zumindest theoretisch. Denn leider stellt NewPipe die Videos im Hintergrund-Modus immer auf den übersetzten Stream um und dir Livestreams laufen bei mir generell nicht. Aber vong Idee her schön.
#NewPipe, I'm getting really tired of your crap. Stop burning up my battery every time I leave a video paused.
I either have to restrict its battery usage (and not be able to listen to videos in the background), or remember to kill the app every time I stop using it.
Und ihr könnt über @newpipe alle Videos von #mediaCCC anschauen, dem Medienkanal des #ccc , der zum #37c3 wieder mit vielen spannenden Videos zu #Netzpolitik , #datenschutz etc. bespielt werden wird.

I haven't given any updates on the #NewPipe development lately. Although it might seem that most NewPipe devs have been inactive for some time, a lot has happened behind the scenes. Let's catch up on the past weeks months and take a look into future steps of the NewPipe development.
🆕 support for channel tabs
🆕 image quality control
🆕 option to download thumbnails in various sizes
Plus:
🌐 translation updates
⬆️ small UX improvements
⚙️ internal optimizations and library updates
🐞 multiple bug fixes
We're currently conducting QA and testing for the next update. This might take a while to ensure no regressions were introduced. We are awaiting a few more bug fix PRs, too. Want to help? Go to https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe-nightly/releases and install the latest nightly build🚀
Got an update for LibreTube from F-Droid the other day, so I can finally use it again. One upside of having it not work for a while, is that I gave NewPipe another go. It's improved a lot since the legacy version I used to use on my old Android.
Anything to avoid using SpewTube's default apps. Every time I see someone using them, I also see a flood of ads, of biblical proportions.
Still hoping for a mass exodus of vloggers to PeerTube...
Hello, les Gens !
J'ai des problèmes avec l'application #NewPipe (un client pour visionner les vidéos YT). J'avais sur mon smartphone Android, l'avant-dernière version disponible (0.25.1). Mais toutes les vidéos que j'essayais de passer, se bloquaient autour de 1min05. Je suis allé chercher l'APK de la dernière version (0.25.2). Là, l'application crash sans que je ne puisse tenter quoi que ce soit.
Très chouette l'App #Tubular sur la TV Android pour regarder YouTube sans pubs ni placement de produits. C'est un fork de #Newpipe mais qui intègre #sponsorblock en plus.
Petit bémol, la navigation avec la télécommande sur TV pourrait être un améliorée par contre, mais ca fait le job.
In case you've also missed it: If you use NewPipe SponsorBlock you should switch to Tubular, which is the new name it's being developed under. https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular
You can download the apk from the linn above, or install it trough F-droid with the IzzyOnDroid repository.
How anonymous is Newpipe?
I only use Newpipe with a Anonymous VPN. (Mullvad/Proton)
Is google still able to make a big profile about me?
Does Newpipe clear cookies so that if you restart you have a completely new session?
Is there something like fingerprinting in Newpipe? For example the Language or Settings in Newpipe?
The most anonymous way to watch YouTube is using Tor and Invidious.
I think that Newpipe is way better then directly YouTube, but google will still almost completely track you even when using a VPN.
Con la nuova versione di NewPipe che supporta anche shorts e dirette, non c'è davvero più alcuna motivazione per usare l'app ufficiale di YouTube. Complimenti agli sviluppatori @newpipe
Yes, finally a new version of #NewPipe is out, which fixes both that constant error message on every single video and comments not loading! It even adds support for comment replies.
