I was so happy to find this post, and was saddened again to see that I didn't have this button available when I needed it hahahaha

Friends don't let friends deal with YouTube's website.
NewPipe
FreeTube

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 42 minutes ago

FreeTube breaks regularly and doesn't have support for higher resolutions.

Don't forget Smarttube

PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in

[–] Chev@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators

Also relevant:

  • alternate frontends (e.g. Invidious and Piped)
  • yt-dlp🔗 (youtube downloader, can also be used to stream videos into players like mpv)

All the piped instances appear to be down, unless Im missing something

[–] sag@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Self-Hosting is the only option right now.

I always somehow miss when it stops working and by the time I go to YouTube again it's already working again.
