FreeTube app - The Private YouTube Client - https://freetubeapp.io/

The FreeTube app is already included as a flatpak, but for those of us who prefer to have mostly deb packages installed, it would be nice to have it in the MX repo as a deb. In the FreeTube website it is available as a deb package to download already.

Thanks for all your efforts!!!

It's an Electron application, with all the baggage that brings with it. All the other distros, along with the web site, that I can find just bundle the already-built Electron app into a package.

Maybe MX PI could add an action to install it, though.

I installed FreeTube from the deb on their site.
Works great to remove ads.
For me, to begin, I keep youtube open in browser to find things; then paste into FT.

Have you tried the search in FT?

Ublock Origin addon to browsers also does a nice job of removing ads.

Yes, Ublock origin is great. A must have for sane browsing. But FreeTube except from removing ads and having a built in search, it also allows toy to subscribe and follow channels without a Google account. Very convenient for me.
