    After trying all the alternatives in the end I settled on self hosting <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Materialious&#x2F;Materialious" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Materialious&#x2F;Materialious

    All the YouTube alternative frontends are so privacy focused that they do not even offer video history in your account.

    Having video history is a must for me as I might start watching a video in my computer and then continue on my phone.

    Also as it is just a web (and includes support for SponsorBlock) it works everywhere, no need to patch apps or install extensions.

      Is it a problem for you that YouTube&#x27;s watch history is littered with videos you didn&#x27;t watch, but got recorded as being watched because the mouse pointer moved over one of their suggestions for a moment.

        I use the better YouTube preview browser extension that moves preview from mouse over to long click just for this reason
