LibreTube is an alternative frontend for YouTube. It uses the Piped API to load data and play videos and thus needs no YT account and no Google Services on your device.
WhatsNew:
* fix: properly apply creator highlight
* fix: restoring nav after process death
* fix: auto fullscreen stops working after first rotation
* fix: increase area that can be used to control the time bar
* fix: crash when trying to vote while there are no sb segments yet
* fix: related videos are truncated after rotation
* fix: light theme setting doesn't work properly
* fix: share dialog doesn't use shortened yt links for videos
* fix: missing horizontal padding for player in landscape
Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos. For details on this, please see here.
Anti-Features: NonFreeNet(this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ connects to YouTube (obviously)

Libraries:
- Android Support v4 (Development Framework)

- Android Support Library Custom View (UI Component)
a module to implement custom views. Part of the Android Support Library.

- AndroidX Media (Utility)
share media contents and controls with other apps.
