Alternative Front end Client for people addicted to YouTube

In plain words

This is a frontend client that provides an alternative interface to YouTube, designed for people struggling with YouTube addiction. Instead of using YouTube's standard interface, users can access YouTube content through this modified client, which launched in 2021. The project is available on GitHub as an open-source tool.

  Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends2023 · github.com · ▲333

  YouTube started blocking me because I use an adblocker. So I made this simple Firefox Add-On (haven't made it cross-browser yet, contributions welcome!) to open videos in alternative front-ends (piped.video by default). Default keybinding: Alt+J to reopen current page in the configured frontend. Shift+Click to open any video in a new tab in the configured frontend. You can change the default frontend to something else if you like.
