YouTube is severely rate limiting Invidious instances
Today most Invidious instances are experiencing very harsh ip address rate limiting, it is becoming very very hard to watch yt videos through
You're viewing a single thread.
Is there any reason there isn't a desktop app for this so all traffic comes from my IP only?
Why does it have to be a web server infra?
Use FreeTube?
Looks like its not available in apt
Did you open the webpage? There's a download page with a
.deb. Really isn't that hard.Is it signed tho?
Doesn't freetube use Invidious
Try Freetube.
it will download the youtube page and remove trackers and telemetry. but google can still correlate traffic from ip to other identities of yours, I am not sure if by using invidious whereby you download the webpage from the instance and the video feed directly from youtube ( if you are not using proxy option in invidious) is more private than using Freetube and NewPipe which download both the feeds from youtube. only someone from google can tell if they track connexions to youtube "video servers".
Are you nuts, of course they do! Even at least for security measures, like f.e. breaches.
I think what you're looking for is yt-dlp.
To hide ones IP of course
Freetube.
Others mentioned Freetube, but note also that you could just host your own Invidious instance on localhost.
Yes but my point was thats very difficult compared to a native app without a web server stack
