Piped-Material
Piped-Material is a fork of Piped, an alternative client to YouTube. I have tried to improve the performance, the design and efficiency.
There are a few things that PM does better, like watch history tracking, but it's feature complete in almost all places.
As a byproduct, the code is also much cleaner, dysfunctional patterns and paradigms have been replaced with clean, beautiful code :).

Production instances are updated infrequently, and do not include features that are introduced recently without extensive testing.
Piped-Material's Production instance is also available via IPFS at IPNS key k51qzi5uqu5dl0a18rats73hcc6d5dtvtz9pjbpgzj6hl66b9za5i5wn0yzgjv.
For example, it's available via dweb.link and via cf-ipfs.com.
