YouTube in undeniably a force in the modern world. My 77-year-old father
watches it daily as does my four-year old granddaughter. If you watch
YouTube on a PC running macOS, Windows or Linux, I suggest you do it
with FreeTube. FreeTube is a
privacy lover's dream, using no trackers and allowing you to subscribe
to your favorite channels without an account. All user data is stored on
your machine and is never sent to or stored on the Internet. The data
for videos is either scraped or obtained through the Invidious API. The
interface is similar to YouTube and easy enough for a child to use.
FreeTube is open source and THERE ARE NO ADS. You can
even download videos using a one-button interface. You can create
playlists and lists of favorites. I honestly do not know why this app
isn't more well known.
Settings
FreeTube has plenty of settings and you can make the interface as
spartan as you want by turning off different elements.
