      Why is it a pain? I’ve used it for some time and it just does the job.

        Its unstable and only works half the the time.

        What do you mean load times? If its slow switch to a instance in your area

          That’s weird, I have never experienced any crash/problems with the app.

          What i was saying with load times is that sometimes instance gets ratelimited by YT but with newpipe you are not using proxy, so probably not going to get rate limited that fast.

            You can disable the proxy on Libretube as well in the instance settings menu in-app, it also has another one that lets you make it fallback to the proxy if something goes wrong with direct connection which is convenient
