# FreeTube
FreeTube is an Open Source Desktop YouTube player built with privacy in mind. Watch your favorite YouTube videos ad free as well as prevent Google from tracking what you watch. Available for Windows / Mac / Linux

Please note that FreeTube is currently in Beta and using the proprietary and obfuscated [Google API script](https://apis.google.com/js/api.js) (bundled as `src/js/googleApi.js`), which is planned to be ditched in the future. Video URLs are resolved using the [HookTube](https://hooktube.com/) HTTP API.

# How Does It Work?
FreeTube uses the YouTube API to search for videos. It then uses the HookTube API to grab the raw video files and play them in a basic HTML5 video player, preventing YouTube from tracking you using cookies or JavaScript. Subscriptions, history, and saved videos are stored locally on the user's computer and is never sent out to Google or anyone else. You own your data.
