I have a feeling that Invidious could go the way of Nitter in the future (a major company being hostile to third-party interfaces and ultimately killing them off, or at a minimum making them highly inconvenient to use). That's why I'd like to see alternatives to YouTube similar to Invidious: chiefly being Tor-friendly (instances with no or tamed Cloudflare, plus availability of onion instances) and working well with a desktop browser that has Javascript disabled. I've heard about PeerTube. It's federated, which is good. However, its web interface at least requires Javascript. While third-party applications are available, development appears to have stalled/ceased on some or all of them. Putting that aside, isn't it reasonable to expect a desktop web browser to work under the documented conditions when it does for Invidious?
>>ER55Q4LE (OP) GNU mediagoblin is a federated platform lets you share videos and doesn't require javascript. It kind of sucks, but you can sort of browse peertube without javascript if you use RSS feeds, yt-dlp, and mpv to browse youtube without JS. For a peertube website, you can find an RSS feed of the videos by looking at https://WEBSITE/feeds/videos.xml (replace WEBSITE with the peertube instance). You can also subscribe to people with RSS, but IDK how to find the RSS feed link to subscribe without running java script. > isn't it reasonable to expect a desktop web browser to work under the documented conditions when it does for Invidious? IDK what you mean by this
>>0GNB41V1 You can also browse peertube with no js if you use ytfzf. Specifically you can do ytfzf -c P The only problem is that ytfzf isn't actively maintained.
ytfzf -c P
>>0GNB41V1 > GNU mediagoblin is a federated platform lets you share videos and doesn't require javascript. Interesting, but I was looking for something more general content-wise. > It kind of sucks, but you can sort of browse peertube without javascript if you use RSS feeds, yt-dlp, and mpv to browse youtube without JS. Yep, it kind of does. > IDK what you mean by this Using Tor, and using a browser with Javascript disabled. Both are problematic for many web sites (even moreso in combination), but happily Invidious is one exception (some Cloudflare instances aside). >>RN1R7F42 > The only problem is that ytfzf isn't actively maintained. That's not great either.
