Use alternatives that filter the adverts and bad code. Also
#Invidious = #OpenSource filters
Invidious #software = #protect #fediverse from #youtube #google #tracking #adverts #mining 
@edgren In what way do you like better / practical differences?
@freeschool Piped does not leak your IP address to Google like what Invidious does (if I remember it all correctly now).
Piped is also snappier than Invidious 🙂 But sometimes, the videos won't load on Piped due to JavaScript errors. It doesn't happen that often, fortunatly.

@freeschool i'm a bit weary about the people who run invidious instances. some of them have very "progressive" agenda, and invidious can be a honeypot as well.
an alternative is using something like https://addons.mozilla.org/de/android/addon/clearurls/ to remove tracking from urls.
No-Ads Youtube! ....... who actually checks the code ?!
@bonifartius Truth is probably these below which I'm not sure how to resolve since ALL is fairly trust based (while yes some code being able to be checked):
- who actually checks the code I don't know! I guess we rely that 'someone' will or would have found out but you're right.
- we don't know them at all / most of us don't interact with software people enough to know for sure if they are decent, and well that classic thing of "too many to check"
- are add-ons any more different to above?
Overall the fact this software does the job, is classic "I don't mind" kind of vibes though I would mind if it was honeypotting BUT imagine that is the normal link anyway... and if they asked I'd even perhaps help them if they wanted my video list!
Also from seeing youtube audio inteview (Ghosty as representative) and other things I get the mutual feelings it comes from care / passion / rebellion and not deception... while I measure that in everything anyway (so worse case is they get my data rather than YouTube + less adverts to their 9999 partners)
I also 100% prefer using links so others that don't have get filtered from clicking... if I use add on then I'm still practically pushing direct links and also seen to support them! So using other links achieves 2 big full-proof / fool-proof things
Ok now to next video how to grow seeds since I have 10000's of them...

@freeschool Piped[1] is a good alternative to Invidious, too.
