They still have no app. Viewing anything on that site through your mobile browser sucks ass.

Tried that, the interface wasn't any better. Also, you couldn't log into an account and get recommendations. I use Revanced extended.

Just tried it. Tried playing several videos, and the app just crashed every time. Plus, again, there is no youtube account sign in and a bad UI.

Not being identifiable is kinda the point of Piped, so an official YT login will never be a thing, I'd assume

Piped is based on NewPipe's extractor.
If you want an app it's available on f-droid or with sponsor block on Izzy's repo.

no.

Grayjay is proprietary. Use Newpipe, which is what Piped's extractor is based on.

Nope, the source code is available but it is proprietary software because the license forbids distributing modified versions, among other things

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Shit, why source available then ? What are they trying to accomplish ?
