In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.

Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?

    I self host a personal Piped instance, and it works without issues for me. The videos load just as quickly as on YT itself, and the UI feels faster because it’s not as bloated. Setting it up was fairly easy too, I just had to customize and run the docker compose config they provide.
