Open Source YouTube Frontends
A list of open source YouTube frontends - both websites and apps. It is separated into categories based on device type and is aimed to be as comprehensive as possible.
SAY GOODBYE TO BIG COMPANIES WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES
Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up.
That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!

It works great on Google TV.
Great app, the best
if u have a tv. don't even think twice. just install it. I tell u don't even think. this app is as good and as important as your OS
This app is really sensational, it works perfectly on my projector with Google TV, ad-free, I feel free!
A must have if you want to watch Youtube on TV …since the official app just doesn't work for years – it's too slow, doesn't let me speed up videos ("your device is incompatible" say what again??).
It's a good app. I've been using it for two years on my Android TV/Google TV. It works without any problems, and you don't need to do any complicated patching like on ReVanced or root your device. Just install the APK and disable the standard version of YouTube if you want. SmartTube has no ads and lets you skip sponsored segments in videos. Hundreds of settings for the player, subtitles, quality, and interface. The beta version is updated every day. The only downside is that the design is a little outdated.
Amazing Android TV App, it even has better performance than the original YouTube App.
Only thing I'd like is to have the option to turn ads on on selected videos or channels, you know, sometimes supporting some creators through ads are a good thing, at least by having the option to do so.
