Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.

Materialious doesn’t use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.

Yea, Materialious is a bit more complex then a theme as it has a lot of custom client side logic (Like sync parties, playlists, etc).

If I expanded Materialious you’d still be able to use just Invidious or Safetwitch etc.

But Materialious at its core would still be built off the API of giants. So it wouldn’t be reinventing the wheel for scrapping/handling data from twitch, YouTube etc.

Haven’t used Proxitok in a while, so not sure if its working currently. Seems to be in active development tho. Misspoken, doesn’t appear to be working & hasn’t been updated in awhile

Yea just need to avoid it from being bloated. The idea would be to have a global feed, what you can filter by platform.

I believe loading videos directly works, but discover/trending doesn’t to my understanding.

Isn’t just a theme, is a completely different application built on top of Invidious’ API. What works completely differently to Invidious’ current UI. A LOT of things are handled different then how Invidious handles it on their frontend. Replacing Invidious current interface with Materialious isn’t a good idea, because its quite a bit bigger & requires JS compared to Invidious’ current UI.

Calling Materialious a theme would be like calling clipious a theme.

Materialious does currently just use Invidious’ API. If extending it requires a custom backend it will be a completely different project (what will still be using Invidious)

It requires the Invidious instance to have the correct COR values for Materialious, but yes connects to a existing instance.

Anyone know exactly what info Youtube captures from you from its browser version (and by what means)?

I know the prevailing sentiment for a long time in the privacy community has been “DAE Youtube bad?” though I have always thought that it is kinda overblown. Besides, I am using Firefox which is supposed to isolate tabs so they can’t speak to each other, so I felt a small amount safer using Youtube....

Maybe with the Materialious frontend

Cough cough might be a plug

This interface uses the Invidious API. So if YouTube breaks Invidious & Materialious, once Invidious is fixed, Materialious is also fixed.

Materialious uses ReturnYouTubeDislikes for dislikes and likes, this option can be disabled in settings.

Yea the slider was the default component vidstack uses, I do agree it would be a good idea to use a drop down instead.

Yes! DeArrow support is planned

Materialious is a web app. Check out Clipious for a native Android Invidious client with support for Android TV.

Thank you & yes my taste is on point.

Enable dash in settings

Yes anyone can host Materialious on their own server! Does require you to host Invidious too.

Ward,

yup

Material design 3 was released in 2021, so I’d call that somewhat modern and is the latest release of Material design. Unlike Apple’s design language Material design is also meant for the web.

There is already a Invidious interface for Apple devices, but ofc isn’t a web interface like Materialious.

Thanks for your interested. Currently this is just a alternative frontend for Invidious. But I am open to integrating other services into Materialious.

I enjoy confusing people.

Home page is the “popular” page what is pulled from Invidious’ API. Basically just the popular videos people have been watching on that instance.
