PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in

There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators

FreeTube breaks regularly and doesn't have support for higher resolutions.
