I just want to point out there are some plugins and scripts to use Youtube from VLC. The "Library" then works as a search frontend. It is supercool though I can't find the link at the moment. I remember I had to download some scripts manually and place them into my VLC-Installation. Another bone: Massively reduced CPU power. Playing a Youtube-Video in Firefox needs like four times more power. Really nice if you work on battery.

Aw man this sounds excellent, pls do tell if you end up finding the info :)
Libredirect is really nice. Question: Can it bypass the front page without being turned off, then back on for links opened in tabs etc? Can't work out if it can.

Piped.video and LibreTube never work for me, very unreliable.
for piped i just use an other host from that list and it works totaly fine https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
In LibreTube, you can go to
Settings > Instance > Disable Piped proxy
I only ever had issues with the piped proxy, not with the app itself.

Piped <> New pipe legacy?
Do these work for live shows?
Yes. I use piped through libretube and it works for live videos.
Thanks mate
yea just stop opening youtube urls period. i didn't know bout libredirect thanks, there is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidioucious/ too
Is Libredirect working good for you? Every few month I turn it on for a couple of services (YT, Wikipedia, Reddit, Github, Twitchan) and turn it off after a few days because I can't be bothered trying to find instances that work, it's just a constant pain for me.

Am I just insanely lucky or something? I just use chrome and it hasn't complained about my adblock once, and I watch a lot of YouTube.
You are probably lucky, for now. I'm pretty sure they are rolling it out in waves. Boiling the frog and all that.
