First visible release (basically this is 1.0 with some bugfixes around video downloading (named 1.2.), but I did not published 1.0 so I publish these releases together)

Finally stable 🎉

Disclaimer: Only works with Unix-like operating systems (Windows users, please use YouTube Blue Desktop)
Note: Downloads go into yt/blue/folder/resources/app/downloads
Note: Installation instructions are different in every distro, desktop environment, window manager, and file manager

Installation instructions:

1.) Download the zip file attached
2.) Unzip the downloaded zip file using your file manager
3.) Right-click the unzipped folder, and click "Open in terminal"
4.) Type "./youtube-blue" in the terminal

Known issues:

  • Untested on MacOS (this is why I don't want to provide you MacOS packages (unstable))
  • Built-in ad-blocker cannot block unskippable ads
  • Enabling Picture in Picture (PiP) mode can be buggy sometimes
  • Running YouTube Blue can glitch the terminal sometimes (in this case run: "reset")

Coming soon:

  • MacOS compatibility
  • NPM-based packages
  • PiP mode support
  • Android support
  • Changing ad-blocker system
  • Terminal glitch fix
