Description

From the listing uploaded by “thearchivestore”.

An open source YouTube player built with privacy in mind FreeTube Cordova is a YouTube client that uses the Invidious API to serve data and videos from YouTube. No official YouTube APIs are used to obtain data. Your subscriptions and history are stored locally on your device and are never sent out. Features: • Watch videos without ads • Use YouTube without Google tracking you using cookies and JavaScript • Organize your subscriptions into Profiles to create a more focused feed • Export and import subscriptions from a variety of sources (Ex: YouTube, NewPipe, Invidious) • Support for SponsorBlock • Support for Comments and Replies • Support for YouTube Chapters • Option to password protect settings • Parental controls • Subscribe to channels without an account FreeTube Cordova is currently in Beta. While it should work well for most users, there are still bugs and missing features that need to be addressed.

FreeTube APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the FreeTube APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is e4232d8b9e249e3e82d1a8ef94553131.
