Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube - eviltoast

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.

    Sometimes the compression is not great, and 4k compressed on the fly might look visibly sharper then whatever 1080p version they offer. I’ve noticed this with YouTube videos sometimes.

    That said, I’ve seen too many tech illiterate people go for 4k video not realising they also need a 4k screen. Or complaining their 4k console doesn’t look 4k, not realising the game also needs to output it
