HookTube: A work-a-round Youtube.

Howdy folks. Thought I'd go free from the same old stressful news cycle, and share a website that a fellow commenter shared with lastweek over on weaselzippers.com

It's a video website where you can watch Youtube Videos... without giving that website 'Clicks', or being blocked. Or giving Google anymore of your Data.

HookTube:
https://hooktube.com/

" Share YouTube videos without giving them views. Bypass country blocks and age restrictions. Download YouTube videos and music. Keep your data private from the G.

HOW: Just replace the domain in any YT link with hooktube.com and you get a light-weight page that loads YouTube's media files (mp4, webm, etc) directly into your browser's native media player.

becomes https://hooktube.com/watch?v=S6bOkFLrsAc, etc. Supported parameters: start, end, loop (1 for on), speed (range: 0.01 to 4), autoplay (0 for off, default is 1)."

Interesting.

Too bad there isn't a 'hookbook', circumventing Facebook's censorship.

Heh, yeah.

Or a HookGoogle.. (but those are taken care of by DuckDuckGo and IX Quick Start Page).
