FreeTube vs Invidious
Good app, even if I found it quite slow. But it is based on the Invidious API, so it's is not really an alternative because Invidious is one of the depedencies. If you wan tto use it you may need to change the default instance because the main invidious instance have some issue to play videos.TerrifiedTyphlosion As of the 0.6.0 update, FreeTube will use the Invidious API as a backend for its DASH player. You could perhaps think of FreeTube as Invidious as a desktop application, plus lots of other cool features. - Vanced is a modded version of YouTube with many features such as adblocking and background playback.
