Is this correct? If so, this is not acceptable. (lemmy.ml)

Edit: Replies to this thread indicate this is not fully correct as it exists on all browsers; and is likely an ad thing.

Don't use the youtube website. On any browser. Use freetube instead, if your situation and use case allows it. No Google bullshit required. Loads fast, no ads, no tracking. Fully self contained.

I really appreciate you saying "if your situation and use case allows it". I'm sick of people "suggesting" these kind of things by just saying "don't do this" "stop doing that" while completely ignoring that not everyone has the same use cases, preferences and possibilities for such.

Does freetube show recommendations? Most free clients seem to scrape your subscriptions and lack features like playlists.

Does it proxy requests like piped?

You can proxy through Invidious or use a local API

I wish there was a GTK Piped client. Freetube has that kinda janky feeling of a browser (it's an Electron app, so not surprising) and I don't see why I wouldn't just use Piped in a browser then.
