A proxied front end which works 10/10 , FOSS online and selfhostable, online with encryted server (SHA-384), very fast and lighweight, even more in Light Mode for PC with few resources. The best front end i've seen, nice UI without ads or other crap.

What the hell is an encrypted server? What's special about SHA-384, where do they use it to improve privacy? Please don't bullshit people with random IT terms.
Glancing at the code, this is just another YT proxy. Ofc they have your user info, they just choose to only store aggregated data.
Do you have anything better to contribute to solve the YT problem than what I have contributed in this thread?

Apparently speaking out against false or at least misleading claims, instead of making them.
This is a meaningless sentence.
This is just not true. Go to a video on their site, the browser requests the video id as cleartext from their server. Search for something, your browser sends the search term as cleartext as well. There is nothing encrypted beyond the standard, it's all visible to them.
This is how all YT proxy sites do it, but they don't claim to use some sort of special encryption. It's widely accepted that you have to put some amount of trust into whoever is hosting the instance you are using, because they can see the things you watch and search for.
Is this something that surfaced only recently? Can't believe I haven't come across it already, if it's as good as you make it seem
Yes, it's pretty new. Seen in New Apps in AlternativeTo.
