Hi, i found this:

Invidious is a great site for streaming videos from Youtube while keeping Google tracking to a minimum with the proxy feature (find the tiny ⚙️ Preferences button in the top right corner and don't forget to save) you can watch videos without any connection to Google at all.

Can you enable the proxy by default???

deep-gaurav commented 5 years ago

I do not exactly understand how proxy would work here. I'm using Invidious API that is every query is being made on Invidious server and not on device which is then returned to user. So Invidious itself is acting as proxy. The proxy mentioned in Invidious site is not available is API so it can not be enabled

@deep-gaurav what if the server is unavailable for some reason? Do you use NewPipeExtractor as fallback?

It does fallback to NewPipeExtractor but I dont know how a proxy can be implemented in NewPipeExtractor
