What do people use to watch Youtube with?

I used to use Firefox with LibRedirect and would rotate through Invidious instances, but I’ve had less luck with that.

If I turn on VPN, YT prompts to log in to watch videos…

    Try Freetube with VPN set to an uncommon location like Bulgaria or Argentina etc. This works for most videos, but still some won’t load. I use invidious for those vidoes. This way, you won’t overload the invidious instances.

    The key is trying out different VPN locations.

      every time they patch freetube, yt breaks it a day or two later. can’t watch in yt directly because i have to prove I’m not a robot, and apparently i am since i can’t pass the tests (and tried almost all ivpn locations). only one invidious instance works, but not in freetube.

        When Freetube won’t play videos, I open them in vlc and that usually workr. I use the yt-dlp plugin for vlc.
