good luck, the future is web-based

invidio.us or youtube-dl & mpv

both of those just grab videos from urls

FreeTube

google chrome

Also interested in this.

Why tf doesn't newpipe give me a chronological subscription feed, the current sub feed is a fucking joke.

I've got an RSS feed reader set up with my subscriptions so I can click on a video to stream it with youtube-dl and mpv. Comments aren't worth downloading and I'm not making a Google account to like videos.

I use freetube on my gnu/loonix machine.
It lacks a lot of features but it allows me to keep subscribed to a few channels without having to login my botnet Google account.
New pipe is miles better though.
