Waterfox is a neat project, but is often slow to implement security patches from Firefox upstream.
Materialious doesn’t use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.
Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.
It requires the Invidious instance to have the correct COR values for Materialious, but yes connects to a existing instance.
Materialious does currently just use Invidious’ API. If extending it requires a custom backend it will be a completely different project (what will still be using Invidious)
Isn’t just a theme, is a completely different application built on top of Invidious’ API. What works completely differently to Invidious’ current UI. A LOT of things are handled different then how Invidious handles it on their frontend. Replacing Invidious current interface with Materialious isn’t a good idea, because its quite a bit bigger & requires JS compared to Invidious’ current UI.
Calling Materialious a theme would be like calling clipious a theme.
I believe loading videos directly works, but discover/trending doesn’t to my understanding.
Yea just need to avoid it from being bloated. The idea would be to have a global feed, what you can filter by platform.
Yea, Materialious is a bit more complex then a theme as it has a lot of custom client side logic (Like sync parties, playlists, etc).
If I expanded Materialious you’d still be able to use just Invidious or Safetwitch etc.
But Materialious at its core would still be built off the API of giants. So it wouldn’t be reinventing the wheel for scrapping/handling data from twitch, YouTube etc.
Haven’t used Proxitok in a while, so not sure if its working currently. Seems to be in active development tho. Misspoken, doesn’t appear to be working & hasn’t been updated in awhile
yea considering its FOSS it was good enough compared to a lot of the other clients for me to move away from Symfonium
