<h2 class="tagline">the private youtube client</h2>
<p><img src="App\AppInfo\appicon_128.png" width="128" height="128" style="float:right;">FreeTube Portable is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop. Available for Windows, Mac & Linux thanks to Electron. It's packaged with a PortableApps.com launcher as a <a href="https://portableapps.com/about/what_is_a_portable_app">portable app</a>, so you can use it from a cloud folder, portable drive, or local folder without needing to install it on each PC. <a href="https://freetubeapp.io">Learn more about FreeTube...</a></p>
<h2>Browser Extension</h2>
<p>FreeTube is supported by the <a href="https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect">Privacy Redirect</a> extension, which will allow you to open YouTube links into FreeTube. You must enable the option within the advanced settings for it to work.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/">Download for Firefox</a></li>
<li><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-redirect/pmcmeagblkinmogikoikkdjiligflglb">Download for Google Chrome</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Please, note that FreeTube Portable must be already started before using the browser extension.</p>
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<p>FreeTube uses a built in extractor to grab and serve data / videos. The <a href="https://github.com/iv-org/invidious">Invidious API</a> can also optionally be used. FreeTube does not use any official APIs to obtain data. While YouTube can still see your video requests, it can no longer track you using cookies or JavaScript. Your subscriptions and history are stored locally on your computer and never sent out. Using a VPN or Tor is highly recommended to hide your IP while using FreeTube.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Watch videos without ads</li>
<li>Use YouTube without Google tracking you using cookies and JavaScript</li>
<li>Two extractor APIs to choose from (Built in or Invidious)</li>
<li>Subscribe to channels without an account</li>
<li>Local subscriptions, history, and saved videos</li>
<li>Organize your subscriptions into "Profiles" to create a more focused feed</li>
<li>Export & import subscriptions</li>
<li>Open videos from your browser directly into FreeTube (with extension)</li>
<li>Mini Player</li>
<li>Full Theme support</li>
</ul>
<h2>Important</h2>
<p>Even if <code>SupportsUNC=</code> is set to <code>yes</code>, UNC will not work. To use it, you need to add the <code>--no-sandbox</code> command-line parameter, preferably to the <code>AdditionalParameters=</code>. Use it at your own risk!</p>
