FreeTube breaks regularly and doesn't have support for higher resolutions.

Also relevant:

  • alternate frontends (e.g. Invidious and Piped)
  • yt-dlp🔗 (youtube downloader, can also be used to stream videos into players like mpv)

PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in

There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators
