Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I love that the workaround to YouTube permanently breaking AdBlock and NewPipeExtractor is to just download everything that might be interesting, using 4-5 times the bandwith or something. I have paid once for my unlimited Gigabit, and it's more than enough (down at least). Does YouTube?
Correctly if i am wrong but i always consider it actually saves bandwidth.
If you watch a vid in full you have essentially downloaded it in cache. Rewinding, skipping can mean your actually dowloaded parts multiple times. While a script downloads it exactly once to enjoy full quality and performance.
This is of course if you do watch them all. Which is why i combine it with invidious for everything thats not a favorite. I have a few filters to weed out live, shorts, certain series on a channel.
The reason i am not using invidious for everything is cause some stuff i really want to keep and google does break invidious every few months requiring a reinstall at worst. I still dont want that to cause me to miss my comfortshows.
Technically it (invidious, NewPipe) should only download stuff once, and it will only download e.g.. 70 seconds if you see that the video is not interesting in the first 10 seconds.
