I’m actively working on a web front-end for Newpipe (Tubo) in my spare time. Alhough the core functionality is already there, I have yet a lot of features/nice-to-haves to tackle, as well as many refinements to the UX to make it as close to the Newpipe app as possible.
Thanks for the idea. I definitely have to give this a bit more thought. I’m not sure I want to implement user signups like Piped/LibreTube do it as I would rather keep using the Newpipe app, so I’ll think of other ways of achieving data syncing.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
It does neither atm, it simply serves you the streams as-is. The plan, however, is to eventually proxy all requests so that the services aren’t able to see it was you who made the request but only get the proxy’s IP
So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...
More people should be aware of Nyxt as I believe it's one of the greatest efforts towards a customizable browser out there. It aims at being renderer-agnostic, but it currently only supports Webkit and there are plans to support Blink via Electron. I built someextensions for it in Common Lisp and I can say the ecosystem is much more fun and open than standard browsers.
vi support is built into the browser, you only need to enable vi-mode in your default-modes. There is no concept of tree tabs, you manipulate tabs as "buffers" that you can switch to via fuzzy search, which IMO is far more efficient. You can take a look at one of the core maintainers' config. Alternatively, I've recently added a Guix home service and feature into rde for those that want a more batteries-included config, which you can check how I use in my dotfiles
I remember this being marketed as the Emacs Org mode + Org Roam combo for the masses, which is totally fine. However, if you want true control over your data and you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone, consider using Emacs + Syncthing

What alternate Youtube frontends are there? And which ones do you recommend?
I’ve heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is
