    It’s time LibreTube moved on from Pipe Backend too. Too many times the app just doesn’t work leading to server hopping and more.

    I could use NewPipe but the app has a really terrible UI.

      LibreTube existence is built upon Piped as far as I know. Even the developer wants you to donate to Piped instead of LibreTube as far as I remember.
      Isn’t Piped the only way to easily mask YouTube history with Google? So I think we should be very thankful of the existence of Piped

        Yes, it does help to mask your IP address, but often I have faced issues with Video not loading.

        I have found LibreTube to break more often than NewPipe due to this. There were instances where I was forced to use the Browser to watch the videos as Piped servers were having issues.

        I honestly love all the efforts made by the devs of both to make YouTube so much privacy friendly and ad-free, but from POV of reliability, it just sucks for me.

      NewPipe has been having a lot of issues as well. Videos crash a minute in and the only way to solve it is to clear cache which only works for one video.

      You can tell it not to use Piped for fetching the video, but then that leads to Google knowing what you watches.
