I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help
Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?
If you want a native client for Piped on your phone, check out LibreTube
If you want something closer to NewPipe on your PC, check out Invidious, Tubo or FreeTube if you want a native client. There’s also an Invidious client for Android called Clipious.
You can also try out Tubular on your phone, it’s a fork of NewPipe with some nice extra features like SponsorBlock integration
I found FreeTube just recently and I really like it so far. It’s a desktop app that uses electron and the Invidious API. It supports 1080p and is really snappy, at least for me. https://freetubeapp.io
They can’t rival the youtube app because if I want to have the same subscriptions on yt web I’m gonna need to subscribe on both apps. Revanced is perfectly fine for me
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
I mean it’s MentalOutlaw
Oh I remember that guy, I watched like 2 videos and then removed them from my watch history hoping that YouTube wouldn’t recommend him again lol
If you have a YouTube watch history you are doing it wrong from a privacy and freedom perspective.
For real I keep that off 🤣
Or don’t use YouTube. There are plenty of third party clients

On my phone I use Libretube and for desktop I use Invidious.
The thing with Libretube is you have to flip though instances to get it to work.
