Comments and Reviews
No ads, no location tracking, respects privacy. Optional registration with username and password. A perfect ethical alternative to YouTube.
Does not play playlists continuously - only one song at a time and only manually you can play next song in playlist.
Piped is slightly bulky, especially since it requires JavaScript, but it gets the job done for watching YouTube videos without trackers or ads; according to Proton, it's more private than Invidious in that, by default, it doesn't leak your IP address to Google.
Like Invidious, however, it's suffering against YouTube's anti-bot issue: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/3658
Pros:
Cons:
Piped already integrates Sponsorblock on the website, so there is no need for you to waste your space on add-ons and vice versa.
Piped is my favorite alternative to youtube he have clean design and more options than youtube.
A good Youtube Client. Beautiful design and usable. Ad blocker detected 0 ads.
