Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube and article RSS feeds through a modernized design that incorporates quality-of-life features.

It is designed for a distraction-free experience, for people who want to be intentional about their viewing habits.

Why?

Subscribe to creators via RSS without a Google account, stay free of algorithms, and access your subscriptions from any device. Youlag can also be used just for article reading.

Highlights v4.3.0

Video entries supports direct links and can now e.g. be opened in new tabs.
The floating miniplayer restores position and autoplays on its own when you navigate, so no more manually hitting play.
Mobile: Swipe left side of the screen to open/close the sidebar.
Hide description intro if it contain links; reduce chance of seeing sponsored content.

Other features

Block incoming YouTube shorts
Replace clickbait thumbnails/titles, via DeArrow
Whitelist specific categories to use the video mode layout, leave rest in article mode
Floating miniplayer that follows across pages; read articles while watching videos

Pinchflat

Thanks, looks like it could work, bit more than I want, and it'll need integrating, but it is what it is. I'll see if it's worth the pain to transition.

Of course there's this...

I just have a somewhat annoying yt dlp script that runs on a schedule on my computer that downloads all my subscriptions. I tried everything else including pinchflat and it wasn’t really much of an improvement tbh.

Could you share that script please? I’d like to set up something similar
