#Freetube (an invidious front end desktop application) is what I use to watch most Youtube videos.

What the hell? Brave is bad "for so many reasons?" What reasons?
@Dan_Ramos
It's based on the same upstream code — Chrome, when you're following the upstream, you can only keep patching it "the right way" to a certain extent. E.g. I use Firefox, but I don't want WebP, I keep making my patches that make support for WebP optional and building newer code with them, but I know they have already made the decision. Sooner or later architectural changes would happen and there would be nothing to patch…

Sure, Brave team is nothing like a person swimming against the waterfall on his spare time — but they have limited resources too: they have to comply with the upstream to a degree, but Google can alter the upstream on their own volition — we all know that they didn't opensource Chrome (in form of Chromium), so that everyone can just patch the things they don't like out. Sooner or later with Brave you would hit a dead end 🤷

I'm not sure I buy that any more than I could buy Netscape instead of downloading Firefox.
