Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.

Downloaded it and tried it. It's awesome. It blows invidious and newpipe out of the water. Plus it includes my nebula subscriptions in with my YouTube subscriptions.

Do you know if it sends back watch data to the platforms? I pay for Nebula to support the folks I watch, so wouldn't want to lose out on that.

I know there is an option for that on the YouTube settings, not sure about nebula though.

Nebula is beta, hopefully it gets support for sending back watch stats and saving watch progress 🙏

I see they have something similar for YouTube already, where you can enable/disable anonymity (using your google account for requests VS anonymous requests), and enable/disable saving watch history to your linked Google account
