About
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
YouTube has an extremely invasive [privacy policy](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10364219) 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.
|
|
|
|
This project is aimed at improving 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 Google's data collection and includes some other additional features.
|
|
|
|
If you have questions or need help, please make sure to read the [FAQ](https://libre-tube.github.io/#faq) before asking for help at the community channels. The [Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#LibreTube:matrix.org) is considered as the main communication channel, all other forums or social media accounts are maintained by volunteers from the community but not the developer(s).

Differences to NewPipe
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
With NewPipe, the extraction is done locally on your phone, and all the requests sent towards YouTube/Google are done directly from the network you're connected to, which doesn't use a middleman server in between. Therefore, Google can still access information such as the user's IP address. Aside from that, subscriptions can only be stored locally.
|
|
|
|
LibreTube takes this one step further and proxies all requests via Piped (which uses the NewPipeExtractor). This prevents Google servers from accessing your IP address or any other personal data.<br>
|
|
Apart from that, Piped allows syncing your subscriptions between LibreTube and Piped, which can be used on desktop too.
|
|
|
|
If the NewPipeExtractor breaks, it only requires an update of Piped and not LibreTube itself. Therefore, fixes usually arrive faster than in NewPipe.
|
|
|
|
While LibreTube only supports YouTube, NewPipe also allows the use of other platforms like SoundCloud, PeerTube, Bandcamp and media.ccc.de.<br>
|
|
Both are great clients for watching YouTube videos. It depends on the individual's use case which one fits their needs better.
