Maybe invidious or use freetube.
There is also grayjay, and while it works pretty fine I believe there where some controversies around the program even tho I don't know the reason.
The controversy is that the code is not fully open source, but it was originally labeled as FOSS.
Oh! That is a no go for me then. I only use open source software.
You can still look at most of the code, but yes, that's an issue for people who want to stay 100% FOSS.
Thanks! I'll look into them and the controversy.
Doesn't those work like Piped, that you get recommendations based on the current video your viewing?
I was talking about the general recommendations that you get based on what you watch over time. :)
I understand, in Grayjay that is working as far as I know. It shows me videos based on my previously watched content. So that should work.
Cool. I'll check it out!
