We want delve deeper into the YouTube topic, speaking exclusively to you about NewPipe. We have already analyzed the various ways to see Youtube privately. Since YouTube is a social video sharing platform, it is really difficult to find a real alternative.
Invidious and Hooktube
For this reason it is probably the wisest thing to do right now being able to watch Youtube without Youtube keeping excessive track of us. While we already know that to do this on a desktop we can use the always good envious, hooktube or the excellent FreeTube. Still on desktop, we saw that it is possible to open Youtube with Firefox and of Temporary Containers so from not be tracked with the rest of our navigation.
On Android there is NewPipe
On Android, however, we have very little choice. Besides looking at it directly on Youtube with programs like WebApps or Hermit we can use the wonderful project Open source called NewPipe. It's a fairly big and important project, in fact on GitHub you can see that they are there over 400 collaborators of the code.
NewPipe is privacy-friendly
The goal of NewPipe is to be able to provide access privacy friendly to the Youtube videos. This application is in fact designed specifically to be able to show you YouTube videos protecting your privacy more or less completely. Be careful, don't think that by using this app you are somehow invisible on the web or who knows what other magic. Simply you will not be recognizable by Youtube and consequently from Google.
The amazing thing about NewPipe is not only its speed and that it works practically all the time (except in very rare cases), but it's also its UI (graphic interface) to the limit of perfection and in all respects similar to Youtube. Its simplicity of use together with the ability to perform YouTube browsing is private makes it an app truly indispensable so as not to be constantly tracked by Google.
