Por vezes, os serviços tentam forçá-lo a criar uma conta, bloqueando o acesso a conteúdos com popups irritantes. Também podem não funcionar como pretendido se o JavaScript não for ativado. These frontends can allow you to circumvent these restrictions.

Se optar por auto-hospedar estes frontends, é importante que tenha outras pessoas a utilizar também a sua instância, para que se possa fazer integração. Deve ter cuidado com o local e a forma como aloja, uma vez que a utilização por outras pessoas estará associada ao seu alojamento.

When you are using an instance run by someone else, make sure to read the privacy policy of that specific instance (if available). Podem ser modificados pelos seus proprietários e, por conseguinte, podem não refletir a política predefinida. Some instances have [Tor](tor.md) .onion addresses, which may grant some privacy as long as your search queries don't contain personally identifiable information.

## Reddit

<div class="admonition note" markdown>
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>

The [Old Reddit](https://old.reddit.com) website doesn't require as much JavaScript as the new Reddit website does, but it has recently blocked access to IP addresses reserved for public VPNs. You can use Old Reddit in conjunction with the [Tor](tor.md) Onion that was [launched in October 2022](https://forum.torproject.org/t/reddit-onion-service-launch/5305) at [https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion](https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion).

<p class="admonition-title">Tip</p>

Redlib is useful if you want to disable JavaScript in your browser, such as [Tor Browser](tor.md#tor-browser) on the Safest security level.

</div>

## YouTube

**Note:** YouTube has gradually rolled out changes to its video player and API that have thwarted some of the methods used by third-party frontends for extracting YouTube data. If you experience reliability issues with one YouTube frontend, consider trying out another that uses a different extraction method.

### Invidious

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Logótipo Invidious](assets/img/frontends/invidious-dark.svg#only-dark){ align=right }

O **Invidious** é um frontend gratuito e de código aberto para [YouTube](https://youtube.com), que também é auto-hospedável.

There are a number of public instances, with some that offer a [Tor](tor.md) onion service or an [I2P](alternative-networks.md#i2p-the-invisible-internet-project) eepsite.

<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>

O Invidious não faz proxy de fluxos de vídeo por predefinição. Videos watched through Invidious will still make direct connections to Google's servers (e.g. `googlevideo.com`); however, some instances support video proxying—simply enable *Proxy videos* within the instances' settings or add `&local=true` to the URL.
