+An Open Source Desktop YouTube Player For Privacy-minded People

+
+You already know that we need a Google account to subscribe channels and download videos from YouTube. If you don’t want Google track what you’re doing on YouTube, well, there is an open source YouTube player named **“FreeTube”**. It allows you to watch, search and download Youtube videos and subscribe your favorite channels without an account, which prevents Google from having your information. It gives you complete ad-free experience. Another notable advantage is it has a built-in basic HTML5 player to watch videos. Since we’re not using the built-in YouTube player, Google can’t track the “views” and the video analytics either. FreeTube only sends your IP details, but this also can be overcome by using a VPN. It is completely free, open source and available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
+
+### Features
+
+* Watch videos without ads.
+* Prevent Google from tracking what you watch using cookies or JavaScript.
+* Subscribe to channels without an account.
+* Store subscriptions, history, and saved videos locally.
+* Import / Backup subscriptions.
+* Mini Player.
+* Light / Dark Theme.
+* Free, Open Source.
+* Cross-platform.
+
+
+
+### Installing FreeTube
+
+Go to the [**releases page**][1] and grab the version depending upon the OS you use. For the purpose of this guide, I will be using **.tar.gz** file.
+```
+$ wget https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases/download/v0.1.3-beta/FreeTube-linux-x64.tar.xz
+
+```
+
+Extract the downloaded archive:
+```
+$ tar xf FreeTube-linux-x64.tar.xz
+
+```
+
+Go to the Freetube folder:
+```
+$ cd FreeTube-linux-x64/
+
+```
+
+Launch Freeube using command:
+```
+$ ./FreeTub
+
+```
+
+This is how FreeTube default interface looks like.
+

+
+### Usage
+
+FreeTube currently uses **YouTube API** to search for videos. And then, It uses **Youtube-dl HTTP API** to grab the raw video files and play them in a basic HTML5 video player. Since subscriptions, history, and saved videos are stored locally on your system, your details will not be sent to Google or anyone else.
+
+Enter the video name in the search box and hit ENTER key. FreeTube will list out the results based on your search query.
+
+![][4]
+
+You can click on any video to play it.
+
+![][5]
+
+If you want to change the theme or default API, import/export subscriptions, go to the **Settings** section.
+
+![][6]
+
+Please note that FreeTube is still in **beta** stage, so there will be bugs. If there are any bugs, please report them in the GitHub page given at the end of this guide.
+
+Cheers!
