The announcement reply in the (from original developers rejected) Feature Request issue: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4447#issuecomment-3697918113
And the repository: https://github.com/D3SOX/FreeTube
And for Arch users in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetube-git-d3sox
There is a new fork of FreeTube that implements a (at least by me) long wished feature: Save video playback speed setting for each channel separately. He plans to do a Flatpak version maybe and its already in the AUR.
I personally have trust issues to run unknown forks and rely on them, for security and other reasons. So for now I won’t use it unfortunately. But maybe someone else is interested.
Is this fork going to keep up each time g∞gle decides to play cat & mouse? We’re about due for another round.
I don’t know the exact process, but I think its still based on the original, with the changes and additions on top of it. So it depends on the FreeTube team to keep up. I imagine its similar how the Firefox forks work, that still depend on the original Firefox.
