minus-squareAporia@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·16 days agoI only have libretube on my phone so YouTube links just open in libretube instead which I believe should address the surveillance aspect

minus-squareAporia@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·15 days agoDoesn’t libretube use a piped instance as a proxy by default so our IP isn’t revealed to YT? I guess you could also run a VPN in the background

minus-squareScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·14 days agoI’m interested. What is a frontend instance? Like, the server acts as a reverse proxy or something?
