Are there any youtube alternative clients for desktop browsers? (Custom browsers for legacy operating systems are worthless if the youtube page itself makes everything crash)
>>100191938>legacy operating systemsbaby ducks do not deserve technical support. Update like a normal human being.
>>100192460I am up to date with what I use daily, I'm just trying to play around with an old laptop dammit
>>100192470Apart from freetube and nvidious, there is nothing dedicated strictly to deadshitos.https://freetubeapp.io/https://redirect.invidious.io/If the laptop in question has at least somewhat decent sandy bridge CPU, at least 4 gb of ram and an SSD, it should be able to run 11 just fine with rufus trick.https://rufus.ie/en/https://massgrave.dev/If not, consider installing linux on it. You dont have much to loose anyway and you might give this device a second chance.(list from heaviest to lightest).https://pop.system76.com/https://linuxmint.com/https://peppermintos.com/https://antixlinux.com/
>>100191938try youtube-local, my good man. it's not a desktop client but should allow you to navigate youtube without getting ass raped.
>>100192460>>100192908
>>100193086>make me, you little bi-This browser is out of date. Update your browser to view this website correctly
i made my own desktop youtube client which works on windows 2000 and xp
>>100193283based
>>100191938Invidious and yt2009. The regular YouTube client will load in all of the Roytam browsers, Mypal68, and Supermium though.
>>100193283Care to link the binaries/source? Or at least tell us how you did it?
>>100193881>The regular YouTube client will load in all of the Roytam browsers, Mypal68, and Supermium though.It does, but it's so heavy it kills my Core 2 Duo and the entire machine lags
>>100193939Use invidious. Runs way faster. Its what I use on my latitude D630 and it runs like a dream.

>>100193957Mmhhhh that thing keeps buffering every couple seconds (tested in modern computer first)
>>100193962>No legacy Mac versionOld apple is kino...
>>100194046Try switching instances. It runs just fine even on kmeleon running on an Atom n450 processor. Its not a hardware issue.
>>100193962So why Windows 2000 specifically? Is there a specific machine you were targeting or is there some missing system function on 9x that you can't do without?
>>100194068I don't even like iShit, but I think the G3 iBook is kino.
>>100194162For me it's
>>100194181The amout of blank space below that keyboard hurts me.
>>100194195I have autism so it is pleasing to my eyes
>>100194258your ideal phenotype
>>100194076>>100193957>It looks like you found a bug in Invidious!>On every videoDamn.
>>100194302If it makes you feel better I'm posting from the complete opposite right now
>>100194343Try refreshing the webpage. If its still not working switch instances. Occasionally YouTube will IP ban an instance and then it does that until the host changes its IP.
>>100194372I hate that for separate reasons. Chiclet keyboard and no mouse buttons.
>>100194448>If its still not working switch instancesI did, I tried all of them
>>100194472>Chiclet keyboardI don't get this meme. It's fine and comfy, and they went right back into it after their butterfly keyboard shit killed itself for 4 years straight.>and no mouse buttonsI literally cannot use any other trackpads. These have been a thing since 2008 and all Windows-based manufacturers have failed time and time again to replicate not only the design but the quality. Sixteen years.
>>100194478YouTube must be really aggressive today. Just wait a day or two and it'll be fixed. In the mean time just use vlc to stream videos.
>>100194583>vlc to stream videos.
>>100194515>they went right back into it after their butterfly keyboard shit killed itself for 4 years straight.Chiclet is the keycap, not the spring. You can have butterfly and rubber dome chiclets as well. I just hate the gaps between the keys and the low travel, makes touch typing harder.>These have been a thing since 2008 and all Windows-based manufacturers have failed time and time again to replicate not only the design but the quality. I'm not going to defend modern pc touchpads, they're shit, but I don't think I would even like the perfect Mac touchpad. There's no tactile separation between touchpad and button.
>>100194598Yeah, just use "open network stream" and copy paste the video url. Works just fine and lets me do things like boost the volume past 100% and crop or stretch the video. I watch Archive.org videos the same way. I suppose you could use yt-dlp if you're scared of streaming for whatever reason.
>>100194628>There's no tactile separation between touchpad and buttonWhy do you need that? It clicks down anywhere. And the newer ones vibrate to simulate a click.>But muh right click!!Click anywhere with two fingers. A monkey could do it.
>>1001941329x is quite different, my programs may still work but i’ve never tested on it
>>100194679>It clicks down anywhereThat sounds even worse than tap to click. I don't want it to click unless I actively go out of my way to do so.>And the newer ones vibrate to simulate a click.Eww, I turn UI vibrations off on my phone. I definitely don't want them on my PC.>A monkey could do it.Its really easy to do when I don't want to do it, but never cooperates when I do want to.
>>100194723>That sounds even worse than tap to clickYou can also activate tap to click, autismo.>I turn UI vibrations off on my phone. I definitely don't want them on my PCI don't have a newer one but I imagine you can turn it off. >Its really easy to do when I don't want to do it, but never cooperates when I do want toBecause you're probably not using a mac?>It just werksYes.
>>100194742I don't think you understood me. I don't want to click with the touchpad at all. I hate tap to click. I want separate buttons that I can feel with my hand and a touchpad that can not click.
>>100194742>>100194723And by the way, when I say "vibrate to simulate a click" I don't mean it vibrates like a phone, I tested it at a store and it does feel like clicking an actual button. "Vibrating" is just the physically correct term for it.>I want separate buttons that I can feel with my hand and a touchpad that can not clickAdvanced autism.
>>100194785I don't like vibration of any kind. I turn that shit off whenever I can.>Advanced autism.I like to do everything by touch and have a tendency to bear down on touchpads when using them. I'd be misclicking all the time if I used a pressure sensitive touchpad.
>>100191938me on the right
>>100195037There's no one to the right
>>100196182yeah...
