LibreTube is an application for Android, a privacy-focused alternative to YouTube. Users can watch content without advertisements and sharing personal data.
Playback
The platform removes all ads, providing uninterrupted viewing from start to finish. Unlike blockers from browsers, here users prevent commercials at the network level, thanks to Piped integration. In other words, it is possible to enjoy cleaner playback with no pop-ups, pre-rolls or mid-roll interruptions.
Additionally, a background view is available, you can continue listening to clips even when switching apps or turning off the screen. Audio-only mode is included for music, podcasts or educational videos, helping save battery.
Subscriptions
As with the original video hosting service, here you can subscribe to channels and get notified of new uploads, without switching between apps. It is possible to like content, and enable autoplay, access the history of viewed clips and more.
