No ads, no location tracking, respects privacy. Optional registration with username and password. A perfect ethical alternative to YouTube.

First link I tried.. "Failed with error code 3016. !" 2nd "YouTube probably temporarily blocked anonymous watch access with this IP , got error LOGIN_REQUIRED: "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" ..froze a few moments .. got that on a few more links. Tried shutting off my VPN and going on a different browser. .. my luck didn't change.

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

Piped already integrates Sponsorblock on the website, so there is no need for you to waste your space on add-ons and vice versa.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.
