   1 NOW HOSTING: Piped - A frontend for YouTube
   2
   3 [Piped](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/) is an alternative frontend for YouTube that respects your privacy.
   4 I already host a service similar to this, Invidious, but lately it's been
   5 acting up, especially with Google's never-ending fight on age-restricted videos.
   6 I have launched an instance of [Piped on based.quest](https://piped.based.quest).
   7 If you wish to use my proxy, you must open console in your browser and type in
   8 `localStorage.instance = "https://pipedapi.based.quest"` in a front-end of your
   9 choice (mine included).
