Piped

An alternative YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

The Problem

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content freely without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Features:

No Ads
No Tracking
Infinite Scrolling
Login
Feeds
Integration with SponsorBlock
Integration with LBRY
4K support
No connections to Google's servers
Playing just audio
Comments
Playlist support
Captions support
Search Suggestions
Livestreams support with a quality selector
PWA support
Support for IOS
Preferences saved locally
Multi-region loadbalancing
Performant by design, designed to handle 1000s of users concurrently

8K support
