I would love to vote with my feet. How do I watch YouTube or Instagram content with VLC, or some other user friendly video player? | ||

Look into LibRedirect and the projects it uses and also things like youtube-dl/yt-dlp. https://libredirect.github.io/ https://libredirect.codeberg.page/ > A web extension that redirects YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok and other websites to alternative privacy-friendly frontends. https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends | ||

mpv understands URLs to these websites and uses yt-dlp to download them. On KDE, I assigned an action to open some URLs with mpv, which means I can play then from the clipboard manager or the copy menu that is displayed when copying if it's enabled. | ||
