struggling to see what the downsides are for freetube and coming up with zilch. surely there must be a catch, somewhere....????
I haven't found a downside, honestly it works better than youtube. I get a list of all new content on the channels I subscribe to, not just what the youtube algorithm wants me to see.
If im not mistaken, you cannot open a video in a new tab. Since it isn't a website, it works in invidious tho.
I was referring to YT sometimes hiding videos from the feed of new content. For example when GDQ adds 30 videos in a day, YT will simply ignore them and not list them unless I go directly to their channel's page. with FreeTube, it's just a linear list of videos by published date, and it shows you which you've watched too.
To your point, yes, you can't open a new tab, but since everything is listed in order and marked, it's way easier than using tabs.
it won't open a new TAB, but if you middle click on freetube logo or a video thumbnail it'll open a new freetube window and play that.
