One of the primary features is that all requests are routed through Tor, except for the video file at googlevideo.com. This is analogous to what HookTube (defunct) and Invidious do, except that you do not have to trust a third-party to respect your privacy. The assumption here is that Google won't put the effort in to incorporate the video file requests into their tracking, as it's not worth pursuing the incredibly small number of users who care about privacy (Tor video routing is also provided as an option). Tor has high latency, so this will not be as fast network-wise as regular Youtube. However, using Tor is optional; when not routing through Tor, video pages may load faster than they do with Youtube's page depending on your browser. The Youtube API is not used, so no keys or anything are needed. It uses the same requests as the Youtube webpage. Screenshots Gray theme Dark theme Non-Theater mode Channel Downloads Features Standard pages of Youtube: search, channels, playlists Anonymity from Google's tracking by routing requests through Tor Local playlists: These solve the two problems with creating playlists on Youtube: (1) they're datamined and (2) videos frequently get deleted by Youtube and lost from the playlist, making it very difficult to find a reupload as the title of the deleted video is not displayed.
