Regarding YT, my solution is youtube-dl. Which is also a massive improvement on the service itself; cross-platform, choosing of format and resolution, keeping the media file and not being at the whim of an internet connection, work around tracking and intrusive / malicious advertising, etc.

- degenerate 8y agoFreeTube is an easier app to "recommend" because it has a full GUI wrapped around YouTube, which lets you watch, search for, and browse videos just like using the website. You can subscribe, watch playlists, read comments... get in-app notifications on your subscriptions... all locally loaded in the app with no account. I also believe you can export all your data to move to another machine. It comes in many linux flavors, as well as mac & windows. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube It's literally all the best parts of having an account on youtube, no account needed.
