    Simply feels great to use. Great for machines that can't quite run full YouTube - it's rather lightweight.

    A great alternative to invidious, since invidious was discontinued it is very buggy and crashes a lot, I often have to switch instances. Although Piped a missing a few features, it works and is stable.
