Do you guys have any recommendations for more privacy respecting YouTube frontend for iOS? YouTube Lite Plus has been good so far but I’m not sure how effective that no tracking thing is. I’ve also seen on Reddit Yattee and BluePlayer. Anything else? I can sideload it if it’s not avaliable in the App Store. It would be nice if it also had features like SponsorBlock.

    It gives you an estimate. I haven’t used actual YouTube in a while, though. Just Invidious and yt-dlp.

      Is there a reason why you are not using the regular youtube? Just curious since I currently use YouTube website signed out on iOS. Invidious does not have recommendations aswell.

        Well, I don’t need recommendations for a start. I can see the appeal, but my subscription feed is good enough for me.

        Also, YouTube is incredibly heavy in comparison, and I personally believe it’s better to avoid tracking in the first place than to jump through hoops to cripple or block it, so Invidious and yt-dlp are the obvious solutions for me.

          You think using uBlock and a VPN while signed out with a good browser isn’t good enough? Agree YouTube is heavy but only if you have like 8gb of ram with lots of videos open
