I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
Here is the latest one I tried and failed to load.

It’s a cat and mouse game with Google. Sometimes Piped works, other times it loads only the first minute of the video before hanging forever, and sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Often YouTube makes an updates that breaks it altogether until someone fixes it.
I’ve had the most luck with NewPipe but unfortunately it’s only a mobile app, not a website. Works great though.
Yeah, I use NewPipe a lot.
I used to use NewPipe, but there’s a new mobile app on the block from FUTO called Grayjay. You really should check it out, it’s even more flexible and also loads and runs faster than NewPipe.
