You can check the progress on replacing the invidious api here.
Invidious instances can easily get rate-limited by Google. With ViewTube, you can switch between instances. Your subscriptions, settings, etc. are stored on your ViewTube account.

Your selected instance is slow or doesn't work?
Just go to settings > instance and choose a different one! Instances are fetched from the invidious wiki. |
