Piped - An open-source alternative frontend for YouTube which is efficient by design.
-
The Problem
YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.
By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content freely without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Demo / Live node - https://piped.kavin.rocks
Self-Hosting
See https://piped-docs.kavin.rocks/docs/self-hosting/ for more details.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion, @robi!
Piped is fantastic. There is a Piped Redirect browser extension which really helps this Free Software shine, and worked better for me (for Piped) than Privacy Redirect, which I couldn't see for Piped.
There is a Docker Image!

If Cloudron could fully support all the applications in Privacy Redirect (e.g. self-hosting for Piped, self-hosting for teddit, the reddit frontend, and self-hosting for nitter, the Twitter frontend, we could leverage a lot of growing interest from people interested in these privacy tools.

Absolutely 100%
Came to the forum to see if there was yet a request for this.Better yet, would be ideal starting with this since Invidious still (unfortunately ... ) hasn't made its way in to the app store.

Does look good. Interface is quick & clean.
The "Download Frame" button is super useful, as I'm always trying to grab screenshots without the player controls.
Could be an easy package, too @girish ?

This seems to be the only one that can successfully skip the intrusive unskippable ads at times.
@robi needs more upvotes, for that alone!

ublock origin seems to work pretty well for blocking ads on YT itself.
