I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Here is the latest one I tried and failed to load.

    Also, check the FUTO About page

    https://futo.org/what-is-futo/

    Check their ‘Our Three Pledges’, particularly the third one regarding open source…

    Quoted from their site, pledge #3

    “We will always be transparently devoted to making delightful software. All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so. No effort will ever be taken to hide from the people what their computers are doing, to limit how they use them, or to modify their behavior through their software.”

      Huh. Well, if it even lands in F-Droid, maybe I’ll give it a try.

        The app is so relatively new that initially it wasn’t even on any of the app stores, only straight from their site. But now it’s also on Google Play and APKPure, possibly other alternative app stores as well. Give it some time, I’m pretty sure F-Droid is on their radar as well sooner or later.

        The app is still labeled as being Under Construction, but so far I’m rather pleased with it and would recommend giving it a try.
