I appreciated how the reddit app I used (relay) kept everything internal. I don’t want all the links I open on this app opening in my browser and plugging up my history. I doubly appreciated how it would open YouTube links in an internal video player that wasn’t linked to my YouTube account in any way. This is a must have for me to prevent my YouTube “algorithm” from getting any ideas. For example, I watch a video about “X” and now my whole feed is suggesting I watch more videos about whatever “X” was.
Pro android tip: use NewPipe (or similar app) instead of a browser for YouTube links. Just make sure to set the app to open the supported links by default in android settings.
And disable YouTube to open ‘Supported links’: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2665
I love Newpipe but I couldn’t get over how cumbersome importing subs was for me. Also not having my watch history was mildly annoying. I switched to ReVanced about 2 weeks ago and haven’t opened my YT app since.
This is true. Although I think NewPipe has its place for when you don’t want to link your watch history to your Google account. So I use it like private mode for YouTube.

Never used libretube but I’ll have to look into it.

Ohhh very neat. Does it have a folder or grouping function to group subs or view videos in a group rather than a generic feed?
