Description

Invidious is an open-source alternative front-end for YouTube that lets you watch videos without ads, tracking or a Google account. It does not load any Google or YouTube scripts, so your IP and behaviour are not shared with Google, and it offers features such as subscriptions without an account, RSS feeds, audio-only mode and lightweight pages. You can use a public instance or self-host your own for full control. Invidious is a privacy-respecting way to consume YouTube content.
