So i watch youtube a lot and i am now using invidious, i can subscribe to all my previous channels but what i am missing a lot is the recommendation algorithm, like it would show me different videos based on my interests etc and finding new content would be easy.
But this would also mean my data would be sold to companies.
Is there something similar for these youtube frontends which can recommend me stuff without sacrificing my privacy?
If you have an android phone, you have plenty of options. There YouTube revanced, freetube, newpipe, music and plenty others. They all have recommendations and are front end of the YouTube app.
They don’t have recommendations except for revanced.
I mean, they have home feed, too.
There’s no Freetube for android and Newpipe doesn’t have recommendations
Even Firefox on android works pretty well in my experience, with the sponsorblock and video background play fix addons (Fennec, Beta, or Nightly branches)
That’s what I use at night for my videos that help me sleep since it never seems to crash or drop connection
Sponsorblock is actually on mobile now? Nice
It is, but you have to add it as a custom add-on collection https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/Android
