This was not setup by myself. I would be weary of downloading this build. Only sources linked on the website are official builds.

@LibreSolutionsNetwork

Sure is. Check out the Privacy Redirect extension. Once installed, you can enable redirecting to FreeTube in the advanced settings.

Hey there! I'm well aware of the popular Return YouTube Dislike service that the app you mentioned is using. At this time, while close, I personally don't believe that the service is privacy respecting enough to be included into FreeTube. Please see this comment I made on GitHub for more details. This is why I worded the patch notes the way I did.
