NewPipe vs PeerTube Redirect
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
NewPipe
NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, and it's FLOSS.
PeerTube Redirect
PeerTube Redirect is a simple app for automatically launching fediverse links in your preferred PeerTube client.PeerTube Redirect currently supports the following clients:Fedilab (F-Droid or Play Store)Grayjay (Stable, Unstable, or Play Store)NewPipe (Release or Debug-Main)Once you download the app, you can choose your client app and then enable all supported domains, so that when you tap a recognized link, it gets passed to PeerTube Redirect.
