I made a user script that will make a button on each video which jump you to piped, that way you can continue to use YT to manage your subscriptions and see your feed, but you never have to watch to video there
Neat idea, but you should give the button a
position: absolutestyle. That way it’ll stay inside the thumbnail element. Right now it positions itself statically as an inline element, outside the thumbnail on the right. You can then useleftorrightproperties to make it stick to one side.Is there a site where you can search for scripts? What’s everyone’s preference for the extension brand (greasemonkey etc)
greasyfork is what I use
Have you heard about invidious?
yep!
Did you know there are add-ons for Firefox taking you directly to invidious if you load any youtube link?
LibRedirect works for not only redirecting YouTube to Invidious (or Piped if you prefer) but also for alternative front ends for other services, like Nitter for Twitter.
This is everything I need, but on steroids. I LOVE it
Would someone be kind enough to explain what piped is?
frontend or scrapper for youtube.
Are you planning to watch some video on youtube on desktop? Instead watch it here: https://piped.video/trending
say for example this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
watch it here: https://piped.video/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
The best thing is you got no telemetry (your data not being tracked), no ads and you can download the video you’re watching. The project is open source on github, and you can host it on your own server if you prefer not have someone in the middle between you and Youtube.A piece of software that anyone can host on the internet which allows you and others to watch YouTube without loading their original page full of ads and anti-features, whilst also allowing you to have a certain level of anonymity and improved privacy.
(the anonymity comes from collective anonymity, where you’re harder to make out in the crowd, as YouTube only sees a bunch of people watching a bunch of random videos, but not who is watching)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
https://www.piped.video/watch?v=EfIqtQ3eClM
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I wonder if there’s a browser extension for replacing YouTube links on every website with piped links. If not, maybe I should write one.
