What is freetube? (Sorry for the stupid question)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

One of many different "third party frontends" for YouTube which, amongst other things, cut out ads and avoid performance throttling.

Personally I use one called NewPipe, and previously one called LibreTube. There are others too.
