* Update player-settings.vue Replaced the LATIN SMALL LETTER X with the correct MULTIPLICATION SIGN * Update ft-slider.js Added a SPACE character as separator between "value" and "extension". * Update ft-slider.vue Changed the "SPACE" and "HYPHEN" characters with the "COLON" character, in order to prevent values to look like they where negative. * Update ft-search-filters.vue - Removed CSS class "radioMargin" for "Time" and "Type". This class does not seem to be defined anywhere! - Substituted CSS class "radioMargin" with "searchRadio" for "Duration", so the div aligns correctly. * Update ft-slider.js Removed SPACE character between "currentValue" and "valueExtension" |

README.md
FreeTube is an open source desktop YouTube player built with privacy in mind. Use YouTube without advertisements and prevent Google from tracking you with their cookies and JavaScript. Available for Windows, Mac & Linux thanks to Electron.
Please note that FreeTube is currently in Beta. While it should work well for most users, there are still bugs and missing features that need to be addressed.
Browser Extension
Download our browser extension so that you can click on videos in your browser and have them automatically open up in FreeTube.
Instructions for Google Chrome
How does it work?
FreeTube uses a built in extractor to grab and serve data / videos. The Invidious API can also optionally be used. FreeTube does not use any official APIs to obtain data. While YouTube can still see your video requests, it can no longer track you using cookies or JavaScript. Your subscriptions and history are stored locally on your computer and never sent out. Using a VPN or Tor is highly recommended to hide your IP while using FreeTube.
