Application: FreeTube
Category: Music & Video
Description: FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop. Available for Windows, Mac & Linux thanks to Electron.
Browser Extension - not working in this portable due to registry issue
FreeTube is supported by the Privacy Redirect and LibRedirect extensions, which will allow you to open YouTube links into FreeTube. You must enable the option within the advanced settings of the extension for it to work.
- Download Privacy Redirect for Firefox or Google Chrome
- Download LibRedirect for Firefox or Google Chrome
Please, note that FreeTube Portable must be already started before using the browser extension.
How does it work?
FreeTube uses a built in extractor to grab and serve data / videos. The Invidious API can also optionally be used. FreeTube does not use any official APIs to obtain data. While YouTube can still see your video requests, it can no longer track you using cookies or JavaScript. Your subscriptions and history are stored locally on your computer and never sent out. Using a VPN or Tor is highly recommended to hide your IP while using FreeTube.
Features:
- Watch videos without ads
- Use YouTube without Google tracking you using cookies and JavaScript
- Two extractor APIs to choose from (Built in or Invidious)
- Subscribe to channels without an account
- Local subscriptions, history, and saved videos
- Organize your subscriptions into "Profiles" to create a more focused feed
- Export & import subscriptions
- Open videos from your browser directly into FreeTube (with extension)
- Mini Player
- Full Theme support
- ...and many more...
