FreeTube - privacy focused desktop app for YouTube (freetubeapp.io)

Since people talk a lot about Invidious lately, I would like to share this great desktop app for those who don't know it yet. It uses Invidious and lets you watch YouTube without ads. It even has SponsorBlock (you might need to enable it in settings though). You can add videos to favourites and see the history - all stored locally. It's Free Software.

Does this have better video quality options than Invidious? Mobile & Desktop you need to change quality otherwise it looks worse on one but good on the other. My only gripe.

This is what the options look like. I think it's more than Invidious has? You can also set a default resolution in settings.

Edit: I don't know why some resolutions are duplicated but it's always like this for me.

This is exactly what i was looking for!! Thank you so much. There’s an option under this on on there for quality settings but it seems it follows this one more. 720PHD looks better than 4k Dash. idk why https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1042263046090936350/1117907821518921870/IMG_2686.png
