Hello,
Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.
If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..
This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.
I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don’t abuse them since the number is really low.
You can still watch YouTube without ads using grayjay.app including sponsor block.
Thanks to Louis Rossman
Or just use Firefox with ublock?
Sure, that works too, however with grayjay you can follow creaters across platforms. So in case someone’s account gets banned by YouTube due to whatever bullshit reason, you can continue following them on other platforms. Next to that you won’t get spammed with Shorts junk. If you want to download a video to watch it offline, you can actually watch it offline (you don’t require a connection like with YouTube to watch something offline)
But ur data gets raped if u don’t use a VPN + no account (but then u don’t get to see age restricted material)
Yo did someone hit you in the head with a golf club? Why are you talking like that?
They grew up before t9.
What’s t9?
T9 was a rapid entry system for sending texts using a number pad on a phone.
Instead of doing hello as 44 33 555 555 666 you could do 43556 and it’d predict ‘hello’.
Holy shit, someone that ACTUALLY knows what T9 was!
Most people think that T9 was the method of typing on the telephone keypad, but no its an improvement on that!
Predictive text was another name for it.
Ooookay… How’s that relevant here tho… I’m so confused
UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.
Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.
bro sounds soo drunk
I swear I’m not. I’m just rlly rlly confused with why people r saying the things they’re saying. I don’t understand.
Isn’t it true tho? YouTube’s a privacy nightmare- they know everything about ur content preferences, ur political learnings, everything. Without a VPN + no account, say goodbye to any semblance of privacy.

grayjay doesnt have return youtube dislike
It has its own like and dislike system, so it’s not cluttered by yt bots.

We can’t complain about everything, here, considering the circumstances.
