It’s always heart breaking to see IA in trouble :(

and people are totally fine with it!!

by default it doesn’t proxy the video stream you are getting from YouTube. it just extract the link to that stream and sent it to your browser and then you browser plays that stream URL which points to google’s server so google is able to see your IP address.

however there is an option called “DASH” if you enable this option the stream would be proxied by your invidious instances. this options is disabled on most of the public instances because of high bandwidth usage.

I don’t know configuring cert always feels scary to me even though it’s probably not that difficult

You could use instance on my VPS it’s not blocked yet. However it’s http only :/

sounds horrible, yesterday I couldn’t watch a video on Tubular so I just didn’t watch it.

Could you tell which 4 languages you use? I am sure it would include Japanese.

wait, does the lifetime of cookie is decided by browser? I thought it is handled by the server and the server decided when to expire certain cookie.

But why? DDG isn’t that private either!

For now. YouTube can make it not work whenever they want by implementing something like WEI. I wonder why they are afraid of doing so.

Or use some frontends like invidious or piped.

Use pipepipe. You can view comments there.

how the fuck is any of this legal.

It’s not!

You already have NSA backdoors in your device.

“Just”

Don’t lose hope. I was one of the average Joe who was using facebook, insta, yt, gmail all of the proprietory shit. However as I learned about privacy I seeked alternative now I’m replying you on Lemmy! As for facebook and insta I stopped using it and using Invidious for yt. :)

Sadly in india too
