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.
They have to turn on the brain, gather a list of their favorite creators, subscribe in freetube, then it can have an home page with "recommended" videos
The lack of the algorithm is exactly why I like freetube
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.
There is an app created by Louis Rossman which is called "Grayjay" you can give it a try. It has adblock on videos and show recommended if you signed in, and many more features
I tried it earlier today, I disabled YT and I'm using it only for Odysee, and to watch FUTO talks on Peertube, Odysee official app is garbage ( like pay to customize the side menu, seriously ? ), and their website is filled with trackers and JS bloat ( sad that librarian got discontinued ), and Peertube situation isn't any better, no app at all...
Grayjay let's me use both websites without their drawbacks.. Awesome project and I will donate whenever I can
I just found out that UBO fixed it, but who knows how long that will last.
