Youtube privacy alternatives: what are the benefits? (Piped, Invideous, PeerTube)
Three alternatives to Youtube have been created to prevent Youtube from invading your privacy, and Youtube often has excuses for not using their service, such as flooding you with advertisements, collecting your data, and letting the big data decide what videos you want to watch. They have even banned ads on their browser ....
Just like the next picture.

Today, we have three alternatives to Youtube available.

__ Like Piped and Invideous and PeerTube, which represent the three privacy camps. __
- invideous stands for the Freetube software.
- PeerTube represents the NewPipe software.
- Piped represents the LibreTube software.
I’ve been testing the above tools back and forth for a long time, and all I can think is that life is hard. These three are very popular alternatives to Youtube, but the problem is, the stability of these three is very bad, you sometimes have to cut around, cut the site, maybe because the speed is very slow, or can’t connect to the site at all. It’s very frustrating, so I ended up going back to Youtube and using the U-block + SponsorBlock configuration.
Who are these three sites for?
- If you’re using a Tor browser, you basically have to use these sites. If you’re using a Tor browser, you basically have to use these sites. Otherwise you’ll keep getting the “I’m not a robot” message.
- People who simply block ads.
- People who don’t want Google to collect their data, and who care about privacy.
