[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 child) I use Freetube, what does Invidious do? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago* There are two ways of using Freetube, either with YouTube’s APi or with Invidious’s APi. When using YouTube’s APi you won’t get the same ad-blocking and proxying benefits compared to Invidious’s API. One bonus of using Invidious is that your traffic is combined with everyone else’s who use that same instance, for example if you use https://inv.nadeko.net/ your traffic will be masked along side everyone else’s who happens to use that same instance making it harder for big corporations to track you, in this case Google. permalink fedilink source parent
