I wonder what the full scope of privacy benefits might be here? Obviously, if you log into your account and interact with videos, YouTube will be able to see that–but are you protected from other forms of tracking? If you don’t opt to login, how private is it really? With NewPipe, I know it’s completely private, whereas with Vanced, there were some inevitable privacy holes. I’m really curious where this application falls in all of that. It’d be nice to see a breakdown of what this app does and does not do for one’s privacy.

kbin is newer, and there are apps on the way. Artemis should be available soon, and I know there are at least one or two more being worked on. But yeah, none available rn so people are using the PWA.

From what I hear, it’s being tested/reviewed currently, but it’s basically ready and will be available soon.

Sounds like a bug in your browser, or maybe the Android system.

Honestly, I think most people don’t know about kbin/know about it’s feature set. I made this post hoping it would help raise some awareness.

Yeah, the search is the main thing that drew me to kbin, but I do also strongly prefer the UI (even if it has a couple of quirks).

I hear that. There are some good-looking Android apps in the works, but nothing yet. Also, ftr, the upvotes vs posts thing is now synced up with Lemmy.

This is awesome!! Very much looking forward to seeing what’s posted here, and sharing tips of my own. I’ve actually got a handful to share when I have the time to write them out soon.

Thanks for bringing attention to this!
