Have you updated? Do you like the new look?>This release of FreeTube represents an incredible amount of hard work and persistence from the project and its contributors. It brings major improvements across playback, performance, and platform support, with the most significant changes detailed in the FreeTube, YouTube, and Electron sections below.>FreeTube>Implemented SABR playback support via the local API, restoring audio track selection in the player. Watch pages now load faster, but may show timers for pre-roll ads and SABR backoff. The displayed timer values are provided by YouTube and we have no control over them. If playback fails, it will automatically retry or reload. For more details on SABR, see #7119 https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/7119#issuecomment-2837840256>Updated the player to a newer version of Shaka Player with a modernization of the UI. The interface is now cleaner and closely aligned with YouTube’s look and feel.>YouTube>YouTube has removed its Trending page, but FreeTube’s Trending page remains available by sourcing data from the trending sections of the Gaming, Sports, and Podcasts channels.YouTube has updated its search filters, and FreeTube has been updated to match these changes.>Electron>Updating from Electron v34 to Electron v41 introduces the following notable changes:>macOS 11 is no longer supported, as Electron v38.0.0 does not support this OS version. macOS 12 (Monterey) or later is required to run FreeTube going forward.>Wayland is supported out of the box in Electron v38.2.0 and newer (if you were previously launching your Electron apps with very long commands like CONFUSING_OZONE_VARIABLE --ozone-platform=wayland, you no longer need to do that).https://freetubeapp.io/#download
no tabs?

Does it get around the age restriction bullshit? If not, there's no reason to use it.
>>108511996I love freetube, but the old player ui:>gave it a unique look>was smaller and more out of the way>kept playback speed/etc toggles behind only 1 click instead of 2also, I don't know enough about yt scraping to know what sabr is, but now sometimes the player will spend 5+ secs reloading in the middle of a long video
>>108513204I did like the look of the older player better. However if it works I don't care since I mostly used keyboard shortcuts. O and P are your speed controls.From what I've gathered it's something to do with how google thinks ads are being served. They send the player the ad break trigger and minimum skip timer and sabr replies with yes the ad played and was skipped at the minimum timer. I could be wrong though.

>>108511996Needs to move the loop button back to where it was and not have it in the overflow menu. It's the only button i'll hit regularly when I'm playing music and trusting youtube to pick the next video is always a bad time so I use it a lot. Actually all the overflow menu buttons can just not be in an overflow menu since, you know, they hides themselves.Also while I'm here may as well bitch a bit. It's nice FreeTube will remember the time when I clicked off a video, but this leads to a lot of my playlists with videos playing from the middle. It's terrible if im listening to music. Would be nice to limit that function to only remember for a day or so or to turn it off for playlists.>FreeTube’s Trending page remains available by sourcing data from the trending sections of the Gaming, Sports, and Podcasts channels.In the years i've used FreeTube I have yet to find a single video worth watching from the trending or popular tabs because the algorithm is such garbage.
ill stick with 23.15 untill it breaks. freetube has been indispensable for me, since even if its not working i can acess, check and store my playlists and subscriptions offline. godspeed!
