    my favorite feature of freetube is the channel blocking and keyword blocking. my block list is probably thousands of items by now. consequently, my second favorite feature is the ability to hide the block lists 😂

    (my fav feature is different than most important feature, which is of course privacy from YT/Big G. so please don’t complain that i don’t care about privacy)

    Reading through the documentation, SponsorBlock being baked in has nearly sold it for me. That said, I’ve been building up my history for years and am never shown anything outside of what I might enjoy watching. Is there a way to import that?

          Converting CSV to JSON is probably just a matter of translating column names to property and wrapping them all in a list. But if that’s the case, it may be worth opening an issue on FreeTube to have the docs and code updated.

            I’ve noticed that more and more things are breaking on a VPN. That’s my first guess. I’ve allowed all domains through on NoScript, but the dropdowns don’t do anything.

    Hmmm, I’m trying to like it but apparently there’s something wrong going on with their delivery pipeline.

    The last release is dated 2025-05-01. By that time there were already issues with subtitles and currently in that release version no subtitles load at all. The tracker to that issue is this one which marks as “solved” yet that certainly is not the case. At the very bottom they say you have to go to “nightly” - that is go to Github actions and select one among those labelled “build” and download the desired artifact. Meaning, a fix has not actually been released.

    However I’ve visited six different runs of nightlies under “Build” and they do show the artifacts, but they are just a table of text, with no links or uploads. So,

    1.- How is one able to download such artifacts? 2.- Why is the issue marked as “solved”?
