    LibreTube existence is built upon Piped as far as I know. Even the developer wants you to donate to Piped instead of LibreTube as far as I remember.
    Isn’t Piped the only way to easily mask YouTube history with Google? So I think we should be very thankful of the existence of Piped

      Yes, it does help to mask your IP address, but often I have faced issues with Video not loading.

      I have found LibreTube to break more often than NewPipe due to this. There were instances where I was forced to use the Browser to watch the videos as Piped servers were having issues.

      I honestly love all the efforts made by the devs of both to make YouTube so much privacy friendly and ad-free, but from POV of reliability, it just sucks for me.
