Grayjay is such a good app to watch not only adfree YouTube, but also twitch, rumble, Odysee, etc. I don't understand how this app isn't the standard.

The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.

Grayjay is ran locally, so they cant block the datacenter traffic like they did with invidious, but even if they managed to do something I'd probably still use grayjay, since I can follow the same creators on all platforms with it.

They can target the code though. They'll inspect the code, find ways to break it, and then kill it that way.

The sooner we can get creators off of YouTube the better.

Is Grayjay open source? I can't find it on f-droid.

[–] underscores@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

No. It's got a "source available" license allowing only non-commercial use, and revokes the license for anyone who tries to sue them.

That's odd, I'm surprised Rossman didn't upload it to that app store. Well, in the meantime you can get it directly from https://grayjay.app/. Should also be the first result in google, if you want to search yourself instead of trusting a randomly provided link.

It is in FUTO's F-Droid repo that you can add.

[–] Hominine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I found it there.

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe you might have added the repo to Fdroid manually (which I think is the official way to update the app).

[–] Hominine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yup, I added the FUTO repo some time ago and that has it. Thanks!

IDK Iwas using NewPipexSponsorBlock, now Tubular since before Grayjay existed.
