Ups, I just got to enjoy piped and in particular pipeline on gnu+linux and libretube on AOSP.

Pipeline in particular allows to totally avoid electron (freetube), and in both cases the piped instance is the one communicating with youtube, not me, :) And both applications support sponsorblock (tubular does, but newpipe doesn’t). But not talking directly to youtube is a win. Did I mention dropping another electron app, :) ?

But… I installed pipeline from AUR, because I don’t like flatpak… Not sure if other user repos offer it as well…

What works for me is freetube on desktop, and tubular/newpipe on AOSP.
