Most people don't even know what Invidious is, let alone the fact that there are other video hosting sites that aren't youtube (Vimeo, for one).

Invidious is always breaking, too, and most people will stop using it when that happens.

We are talking about most people, not the absolutely tiny minority of technical users who are aware that such a thing as Invidious even exists.

I wonder what percentage of views are done with a general purpose web browser vs. YouTube apps on phones and TVs. Otherwise, yeah, if you have a web browser it is an option. And since this thread is about browser extensions, I too am wondering what they meant.

You see how often growing youtubers complain about more than 85% of their viewers are not subscribed to the channel, or how just some videos have more views than their main content? The issue is that Invidious doesn't have the algorithm Youtube provides to everyone, and that not a lot of people really watch their subscribed page.

I just tried this and I get an alert that unlock isn’t fully available. Seems it can’t access web request API.

I’ll give it a spin out of curiosity. I pay for Kagi anyway. I’m very opposed to Google.

It doesn’t work properly… Orion still really falls short. I use Brave on iOS just because of Adblock and paywall bypass.
