So, recently got freetube downloaded, and love every bit of it. But I still forget myself, and put youtube into the url bar… So, is it possible to redirect Yt to Freetube instead?
But… maybe you also want to use an Invidious instance that uses googlevideo javascript instead of proxying the videos? So you dont actually suck their resources.
Because Freetube runs on Electron which is Google, and I am not sure how hardened it is, probably just “not bad”.
Do you know any minimal Invidious UI you can run from a Podman/Docker container? Like just the frontend, so that I can use Firefox instead of that. I think having that as a base and adding the freetube features would be great.
They very much do control it and are quick to implement unwanted features in corporate interest like Web Integrity API, which has been removed again only after backlash.
No they don’t: you’re free to create your own fork, or compile out the stuff you don’t like from the main repo - which is what all the Chromium-based privacy-focused browsers out there do, including Brave.

Use your favorite search engine and you'll probably find something. Or self host a Piped instance. It's very similar to Invidious but imo even better.
You could just override your local DNS to do so, but you’ll end up breaking other sites that try to load it at some point. Maybe try only using a bookmark?
