NewPipe simply does not work for me. Every video fails to play.

The best YouTube experience I've achieved so far is still using the official website with a ton of firefox addons.

Ive seen mentioned elsewhere, but recently it looks like they blocked all vpn access. When using newpipe, it all works again for me when i turn off my vpn!

I'm not going to disable my VPN, I'll try again later to see if it's fixed.

Just curious, why are you resistant to turn off your VPN?

I keep mine off most of the time & only rev it up when I feel like I really want or need the anonymity.
