I’m looking for an app to browse YouTube using multiple accounts. It has to be convenient to switch between multiple accounts, and keep them separate. I’ve struggled to find a YT client that does this well, most of them seem to advertise “Use YouTube without an account”. I’d look on the app store but frankly the play store sketches me the fuck out, even though google has a “moderation system” (we all know how well they keep malware off the platform)
Unfortunately I haven’t been impressed with the TRULY open source options. There are two KINDA open source options that I would personally say are much better:
ReVanced is sorta open source, but it’s basically a tool to modify the YouTube app, which is not open source.
GrayJay is source available, not truly FOSS. But it’s an excellent app and has been stable in my experience (especially impressive as it’s only a few months old).
I second this, grayjay.app is great. It does break TOS but you don’t have to login to the app, you can just add your subscriptions over and boom. It’s not FOSS but it’s not really too much of a problem since it’s supported by an organisation focused on decentralizing the big tech (FUTO) so I think it’s pretty safe to support using the app.
Their license is temporary as well right? I won’t keep my hopes up much, but they do state it will be changed, don’t know why nor when
Well they want to keep the code under FUTO licensing but maybe we can hope they switch to GPL-3 :)
Agreed, source available licenses really rub me the wrong way, yet FUTO’s software is really good, it’d be a bit of shame if it stayed stuck on that
