Customize YouTube to work exactly the way you want it to.

I’m not sure it’s the “best” way, but it’s a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I’m using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

    Wikipedia, Whirlpool, GiHub are the only big sites I can think of which resisted going commercial. They may still be selling user data though.

    Can you think of others?

      I don’t get your argument. FreeTube is nowhere near as big as Wikipedia or GitHub. Are you not using any free software?

      LibreOffice, Gimp, System Informer, Nushell, Thunderbird, Firefox, Steam, this Lemmy instance, Matrix, … I don’t know what to tell you. I can go through all the applications and websites I use and I’ll have a hard time finding some that sell my user data.

      I don’t know whirlpool but you might want to read up on what your code on GitHub is being used for.
