As of late, invidious has become pretty much unusable for me. All the instances either don’t work or are very slow, and as nobody knows Crystal more and more bugs keep cropping up (e.g. right now search is broken on all instances).
Are there any alternatives? I know of FreeTube but its client is Electron which is a no-go for me. I also know of youtube-dl, but I’m more interested in a website I can use to watch YouTube while proxied.
Freetube is no longer based on invidio.us instances. It provides its own local API by default, with the ability to fall back to the invidio.us one if the local one fails, and the default instance for falling back to invidio.us is the snopyta one. I guess at some point falling back won’t even be an option (once the local API gets more mature).
