Need help with using FreeTube. - eviltoast

So far I am really liking FreeTune as an alternative to UBO. However, my family really hates it. One of the reasons for this is because it doesn’t have a recommended vidoes section. Is it possible to download an addon for that, or is there an alternative to FreeTube that works more like YouTune?

Another thing that I can’t seem to find a solution for is that when you use an external player from FreeTube, some age restricted videos won’t play on the external player. Is there a solution for this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.

    Unfortunately that’s the point of FreeTube precisely, that’s why it uses libre instances like Piped or Invidious, I think what you mention is impossible.

    The closest thing you can use is ReVanced, which is Youtube but without ads, keeping the analytics and recommendations.

      That makes sense. I guess my family will have to keep blocking the annoying youtube popup with ubo.
