YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on
using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data -
ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and
much more than you think.
By using LibreTube, you can freely watch and listen to content
without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.
Apart from that the Piped proxies can bypass geo restrictions,
therefore LibreTube can be used in countries where YouTube is
blocked.

Downloaded files are stored in external private storage
(Android/data/com.github.libretube
).
Note that since Android 11, the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission does not grant third party apps access to external
private storage, requiring workarounds.
The (usually hidden, not to be confused with Files by Google)
Android built-in Files app will always have access to this
directory.
In the downloaded files, audio and video are separated. Hence it
is recommended to exclusively use LibreTube for playing downloaded
media.
