    FreeTube, free open source YT client for desktop (Win, Mac, Linux). Been using it for past few days and despite being alpha, it works quite well. No data sent to YT except video requests. Subscriptions are stored locally and you can create profiles to separate subscriptions.

      I love free tube. But I can’t quite figure it out. It works great on two of my computers. But on one of my computers is just dog slow. No matter which setting I fiddle with. So it’s definitely alpha, if it works for you it’s amazing.

        Only tried it on Windows 10 and I have a beast of a desktop machine (Ryzen 9 5950x, 128GB RAM and a Radeon X5600XT, built it for virtualization). Will try it on Linux later today and on my laptop.

          Surprisingly, it’s my most powerful machine, that has the worst video playback. With constant pauses.

          I’m running free tube on Mac OS, Windows 11, Windows 10, Fedora inside of qubes.

          The settings are identical, I think it’s something with the local API proxy. I just check it up to the alpha stage and inconsistent environments.

      I have been using too and it is awesome. Oy thing I have issue with is when playing a Playlist on full-screen it exits full screen at the end of every video so you have to click on it again to go full screen. Quite annoying on how I use it.
