Watching Youtube with VPN on (lemmy.world)

What do people use to watch Youtube with?

I used to use Firefox with LibRedirect and would rotate through Invidious instances, but I've had less luck with that.

If I turn on VPN, YT prompts to log in to watch videos...

Totally agree with the FreeTube recommendation. Libredirect will even open links in FreeTube. I use IVPN and use non obscure servers but every once in a while I do have to try a different one.

You could also try Grayjay instead of Freetube

Is that an option on Mac or Linux?

I know it's on Linux as a Flatpak, it's also on Android
