## 📔 About
YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. They store a lot of your personal data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.
The project is aimed to improve the users privacy by being independent from Google and bypassing their data collection. Therefore the app is using the [Piped API](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped), which uses proxies to circumvent Googles data collection and includes some other additional features.
> **⚠️ WARNING: This is a beta version, therefore you may encounter bugs. If you do, open an issue via our GitHub repository.**
