Freetube is great for regular video playback but isn’t a great music player, and it’s not super stable on android for me. None of the YouTube music apps like outertune have video. Meanwhile some way to keep everything organized from my multiple music sources would be cool too.

Firefox or Ironfox with uBlock Origin? That’s how I use Youtube on mobile.

I’m trying to keep from signing in as much as possible and keep track of everything. But I resort to browsers when I have to.

Did you check out NewPipe?

It’s been years, so I will again.

It’s also available as flatpak.

For music, I prefer a specifically music-oriented client, Outertune.

For android, try out Metrolist, found using f-droid with IzzyOnDroid repos added. On Linux, I use FreeTube for videos/subscriptions on both Linux and android. AudioTube on Linux for music from Youtube.

If you have an idea of what you want to listen to ahead of time you could make a playlist and use yt-dlp to download it all. Then play it in the music player of your choice.

  • GrayJay
  • Invidious
  • yt-dlp (works in Termux)
