but freetube is an application right? I'd rather watch videos in my browser

... Okay? I guess?

I mean, a browser is an application, too. Add the Privacy Redirect extension to your browser, and it'll open all YouTube links in FreeTube, so it's really pretty seamless.

I'm not sure what's got me promoting FreeTube so much right now. I just started using it less than a week ago. The learning curve is quite shallow, and since I only watch videos on my desktop (not on my shitty shitty phone), I don't have to be concerned with my history and subscriptions being synced anywhere.

yeah a browser is an application but this requires me to install yet another application and idk it feels weird to install an application just for watching YouTube... I'm just hoping there's other alternatives like invidious that are available on a browser
