I mean, it’s YouTube. I bet a lot of you guys also can’t.
I have checked some of the possible “alternatives”, but all of them lacks something original YouTube has, e.g. good search tool, a way to comment in the videos, videos recently uploaded, stable video player, 2K and 4K video access…
My tests:
NewPipe:
It “works”, but all videos shown are 3 days or more old, it doesn’t show you the videos that have been recently uploaded, it took days. This a real con for me.
SkyTube:
It doesn’t have the same issue from NewPipe, especially if you use SkyTube Extra, however, I could find a way to make the video play without the brightness at 100%, this can be annoying at night time, the screen gets too bright.
Invidious:
Not an actual app, just a website front-end for YouTube which claims to be private. It lacks a featured search tool like YouTube does.
VidLii:
Not an actual app, just a website front-end, very dated.
YouTube Vanced:
It has been the best one so far, however, it’s not open source, since most of it is basically YouTube patched with useful features implemented by them and also YouTube paid features by default.
Do you guys know any other alternative? More secure, privacy-oriented, but that does not lack the goodies from YouTube?
