Please note that FreeTube is currently in Beta. While it should work well for most users, there are still bugs and missing features that need to be addressed. If you have an idea or if you found a bug, please submit a GitHub issue so that we can track it. Please search the existing issues before submitting to prevent duplicates!

How does it work?

FreeTube uses a built in extractor to grab and serve data / videos. The Invidious API can also optionally be used. FreeTube does not use any official APIs to obtain data. While YouTube can still see your video requests, it can no longer track you using cookies or JavaScript. Your subscriptions and history are stored locally on your computer and never sent out. Using a VPN or Tor is highly recommended to hide your IP while using FreeTube.

Features

  • Watch videos without ads
  • Use YouTube without Google tracking you using cookies and JavaScript
  • Two extractor APIs to choose from (Built in or Invidious)
  • Subscribe to channels without an account
  • Connect to an externally setup proxy such as Tor
  • View and search your local subscriptions, history, and saved videos
  • Organize your subscriptions into "Profiles" to create a more focused feed
  • Export & import subscriptions
  • Youtube Trending
  • Youtube Chapters
  • Most popular videos page based on the set Invidious instance
  • SponsorBlock
  • Open videos from your browser directly into FreeTube (with extension)
  • Watch videos using an external player
  • Full Theme support
  • Make a screenshot of a video
  • Multiple windows
  • Mini Player (Picture-in-Picture)
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Option to show only family friendly content
  • Show/hide functionality or elements within the app using the distraction free settings

Browser Extension

FreeTube is supported by the Privacy Redirect and LibRedirect extensions, which will allow you to open YouTube links into FreeTube. You must enable the option within the advanced settings of the extension for it to work.

If you have issues with the extension working with FreeTube, please create an issue in this repository instead of the extension repository. This extension does not work on Linux portable builds!
