I use Firefox Focus/Klar as my default and if I want anything to persist, I’ll open it in Brave or Chromium.


You can run it as a docker, pretty easily.

Run this to generate your visitor_data and po_token

docker run quay.io/invidious/youtube-trusted-session-generator

Clone the repo in link below (step 2) and paste those values into your docker_compose.yml file in the appropriate fields. Also, generate a nice long string for the hmac_key

https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker-compose-method-production

This does give you an “identity” with YouTube, but you can generate new tokens as often as you want, replace them in your yml, and restart the container.

Once the container is running, update FreeTube settings abs change the “current invidious instanc” to http://localhost:3000/

Let me know if you get stuck.


I spun up my own invidious container and that has made my connection far more consistent.




I ran into facial recognition at the airport recently an opted out, but what are the likely and worst case consequences of allowing yourself to be profiled?

I’ve heard of false arrests because of it, but it seems like those issues while be resolved with time.
