Anyone who’s been using privacy-respecting frontends for some time will recognise Piped. A YouTube frontend with no ads, integrated SponsorBlock, return dislikes, and a customisable UI.

Piped also allows you to subscribe to as many channels as you want without ever logging into a Google account. You can export your subs list from YouTube and import them to Piped seamlessly.

If you’ve never heard of it, give it a glance at https://piped.video. For more instances, check here.

    To add on: There are a few things about this difference. Unlike in NewPipe, your IP never reaches Google, easier to make frontends or apps (Most private YouTube apps are an an Invidious/Piped frontend, excluding NewPipe and a few others), only the server’s. However, YouTube rate limits large instances, so it’s best to use a smaller one.

    NewPipe generally provides a smoother experience, but it’s largely limited to Android while Piped can be used anywhere.
