Invidious

Invidious is an alternative front-end for YouTube that strips away the bloat and the surveillance. It acts as a proxy: when you watch a video, the Invidious server fetches it for you, so Google sees the server’s IP, not yours. It loads instantly, contains zero ads, and requires no JavaScript to run, making it blazingly fast even on old hardware.

Because it is open source, anyone can host their own “instance” of Invidious. This decentralized network means that even if one server goes down, the network survives. It’s the perfect way to share videos with friends without exposing them to YouTube’s tracking algorithms.
