I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

honestly I keep a tab open with the list of invidious instances open. because every day I usually have to change the instance. or swap it around.

invidious is fighting youtube very hard, but youtube is fighting back. so its difficult to keep up with.

i would keep an eye on the invidious instances list. and change to a different one if need be.

Thanks for the reply! Just went through the whole list and none of the instances worked for me. I always get: "[invidious ](SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input)". Googling the error led me to https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/5506 ← There someone posted an unlisted API that works. It seems non official since it is not listed on https://api.invidious.io/ ... is that safe to use? Thanks in advance
