Lot of things has been changed since the beginning of 2023.
Alright, so there we go. This release is 3.0.3, which is called as Two years of lazyness because it’s back after two years of no updates.
Here’s a summary:
Redesigned Frontend
Subtitle feature
API endpoints implemented
Using low res thumbnails on small <img> element
Using <details> for quality selection button, Shelf in Search page
Bypass youtube throttle speed
Lazyload thumbnails
Also list shorts
Show more details about an video(s) on search, playlist, channel, or even watch page
Finally I can watch YouTube on my first smart phone with touch display that is about 13 years old where it is no longer supported since 2020, plus no ads. YouTube can’t beat that
and also
pov: you have an amazon echo show which has browser but normal youtube uses up too much precious resources
like the difference is very noticable between a lightweight bloat free frontend, and the mobile web ui which for some reason interferes with the core functionality which is playing a video by lagging
app.get("/s/:id", (req, res) => {
// The following function created everytime expressjs handle this
// And then the function being put into memory
function getChunk() {
// A long code here
}
});
