    NewPipe (mobile), FreeTube (desktop), SmartTube (TV). If you did not know about these, you’re welcome.

      I looked up NewPipe on the Google Play Store. First, there’s, like, four different options that are suspiciously similar. I click the one with 4.4 stars (others had, like, 2), and it says it collects and shares location data with third parties, and this data can’t be deleted?

      Yeah, I’m gonna have to say no to that.

        From what I know, none of the apps in the play store is the real thing, for obvious reasons: how do you think Google would allow it? Hence the ratings.

        https://newpipe.net/

        And no permissions required at all.

        Yeah, definitely don’t get that app from the Play Store. F-droid is a reliable source for that and many other open source android apps. You could also go straight to the source like @[email protected] mentions below.
