Privacy-Focused Alternative

Alternative front-end for YouTube

Invidious offers better privacy than YouTube because it allows you to watch videos without being tracked by Google. YouTube collects data about your viewing habits, search history, and demographics to personalize your experience and target you with ads. Invidious's focus on privacy and its ability to block ads and trackers make it a more privacy-conscious choice for watching YouTube videos.
