    But it doesn’t… Here are some features I like about Grayjay/NewPipe:

    • adjust volume/brightness by sliding finger on screen
    • download videos to watch offline
    • watch videos from other sources (less of an issue in a browser)
    • picture in picture

      So, what’s the difference to Firefox with some add ons then?

      That someone else gets my login data and view data to sell?

        I don’t login. Grayjay/NewPipe doesn’t send any data to its servers, so they’re not tracking viewed content. I also get subscriptions and playlists (again, w/o Youtube account) in addition to the features I mentioned. Afaik, you can’t get any of that with addons.

          How do they make money then? Nothing is free, and usually when it sounds too good, it is.
