  11 [Piped](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/) is an alternative frontend for YouTube that respects your privacy.
  12 I already host a service similar to this, Invidious, but lately it's been
  13 acting up, especially with Google's never-ending fight on age-restricted videos.
  14 I have launched an instance of [Piped on based.quest](https://piped.based.quest).
  15 If you wish to use my proxy, you must open console in your browser and type in
  16 `localStorage.instance = "https://pipedapi.based.quest"` in a front-end of your
  17 choice (mine included).
