So a little while ago, @AOU and I were looking at invidious and realized something, it is open source. So we decided Poal.co should host an instance of it and then @AOU did his magic and made it pretty and tube.poal.co was born! I hope everyone enjoys the new feature and enjoy that now all videos expando's for youtube videos, invidious videos and a few others will not be able to track you.

Cheers.

YT only sees that an IP requested a link to a video file which then will be played by Poaltube's HTML5 player loaded on your browser.

More, you can use "local=true" URL parameter to proxy the video through the server of the Invidious instance and then, Google will knows nothing about you (except an users loaded the video from the Invidious instance).

If it can helps, I've written a Firefox extension to ease the use of Invidious. It converts every YT links to Invidious and use the instance of our choice. It also works with .onion domains. Video are also proxied by default but it can be disabled. You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/invidition/
