Materialious is usable on Web, Android (TV too) & Desktop.

It can be used with Invidious or using its own YouTube backend.

Has its own account system with end-to-end encryption for subscriptions.

My problem with all of these frontends is that how do I discover new channels? Much as the Youtube algorithm is privacy invading, it also leads me to discover channels that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. How do people handle this with frontends?

Finally, something to stop YouTube from cluttering up my feed with everything I google or read on reddit

There were other frontends before) It's not first

Looks interesting. How does it compare to FreeTube on desktop?

Similar in feature set on Desktop, but we'll also be optionally adding support for Materialious account system in future what will provide things like settings, watch history, watch progress & subscription syncing between devices.

This is mostly all already implemented with end-to-end encryption in Materialious as a web server.
