| 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). |
